The Boston Breastfeeding Coalition supports individual community leaders in developing their skills as lactation support professionals in order to increase breastfeeding support access across Boston and offer professional development pathways for community leaders.
Below are two upcoming trainings: 1. the Community Transformer and Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Training, and 2. the Virtual Certified Lactation Counselor Training.
1. 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: May 17-19, 2022 (3rd day led by Boston Breastfeeding Coalition Members)
Training Location: Virtually
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. and/or CLC 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.
