Celebration of Caring for the Caregiver Mini-Grants
The BEE Collaborative invites you to a celebratory evening honoring birthworkers and perinatal health professionals who are changing the landscape of perinatal health care — by Caring for the Caregivers. The Caring for the Caregiver Mini-Grant program awarded 7 grants to birthworkers and perinatal health professionals across Massachusetts, funding urgent needs, pilot initiatives, and start-up projects rooted in racial justice — all aimed at improving the environments where birthworkers work and nurturing the well-being of the workforce itself. Those projects are now underway, and we want to celebrate them with you.
Join us for an evening of connection and community as project leaders share the meaningful work they've been doing. Come ready to be inspired, to celebrate, and to be in the company of people who believe that caring for our caregivers is fundamental to building a more just and sustainable birth ecosystem for everyone.
