Black moms and infants are dying at an alarming rate, much higher than other mothers and their infants from different backgrounds.

We are opening up this conversation to take a closer look at grieving in the black community. Learning objectives:

After this workshop, participants will be able to understand:

1. Typical grieving process after the death of a baby

2. Statistics and causes of black infant mortality

3. The role of faith in grieving as a black mother

4. Explore alternative ways to express grief

5. Ways to support a grieving black mother (providers, family, friends)
