Healthy Harlem Babies Safe-birth & Infant-Care Workshop for Pregnant Women

Welcome to the Healthy Harlem Babies Free Workshop!

If you are a Black mama-to-be in NYC, please join us for workshops focused on safe birth and infant health! This two-part workshop series will take place over two evenings: October 21st (6-8PM) and October 28th (6-8PM). The curriculum is designed to take you through everything you need to know in two evenings.

Learn from experts in the field about pregnancy, safe delivery, and infant care. This in-person workshop is a great opportunity to connect with other parents and caregivers in the community.
