Be Well: Sacred Circles_In Person 9.11.25

The fourth session of Be Well: Sacred Circles will focus on Care Navigation & Accessing Resources. We will discuss our current needs, the barriers that exist to fulfill those needs, and hear from people who work to support mothers/birthing persons in providing tangible resources and alleviating the burden of those needs.

Be Well Perinatal Events are open to only Black moms and birthing people up to two years after giving birth. Presented by Ohio Women's Alliance in partnership with POEM Rise for Black moms, all events are developed and executed by Black experts with lived experience with the goal of helping Black moms and birthing people heal and thrive. A few important details:

The first 20 participants who register and attend will receive a $50 gift card.
Childcare is included for all in-person sessions.
