The Community Transformer and Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Training
Hosted by the Boston Breastfeeding Coalition and Vital Village Networks in partnership with Reaching Our Sisters Everywhere (R.O.S.E.).
Training Dates: June 19th - June 21st (3rd day led by Boston Breastfeeding Coalition Members)

The ROSE Community Transformer Training workshop occurs over the first two-days utilizing an evidence-based curriculum on providing peer breastfeeding support. During the training, individuals learn the essential skills for providing peer counseling in the area of lactation management and methods for making referrals to resources for interventions outside of their scope of practice. The third day of the workshop is designed and led by Boston Breastfeeding Coalition members and will review 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.
