The ROSE Community Transformer Training workshop takes place over three days. During the training, individuals will learn essential skills for providing peer counseling in lactation management and methods for making referrals to resources for interventions outside their scope of practice. The first two days, led by Reaching Our Sisters Everywhere, use an evidence-based curriculum on providing peer breastfeeding support. The third day of the workshop is designed and led by Boston Breastfeeding Coalition members and will focus on how to organize and host a lactation support group.
After completing either the R.O.S.E. training, scholarship recipients will complete 6 months of volunteering with a breastfeeding support group or our breastfeeding Warmline. These support groups are currently being held virtually, hybrid, and/or in-person.
