E3 - Beyond Stories: Integrating Lived Experience to Drive Systems Change

Monday, April 15, 2024

2:30 PM – 3:30 PM PT

Location: Grand Ballroom FGH

The Missouri Maternal Health Action Network was established in 2022. It is centered around multi-level/multi-sector perspectives from the community, with the aim of building statewide capacity to address the growing needs of mothers/infants affected by substance use and mental health challenges. We intentionally engage with traditional birth workers and community-based maternal care providers, partner with mothers, and engage them as leaders in the decision-making process. This year, the network is working to intentionally incorporate mothers with lived experiences as key partners to drive systems change.
