Thrilled to have served as a Guest Speaker at the MMRIA User Meeting (MUM) for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ERASE Maternal Mortality. The Maternal Mortality Review Information Application (MMRIA, or “Maria”) is a data system and a data strategy, designed to support the functions of Maternal Mortality Review Committees (MMRCs) through common data. On Day 1, I talked amongst other panelists about the implementation of Informant Interviews with families for a more enriched case review process. Informant Interviews act as a qualitative data collection tool help fully capture a birthing person’s story and the history of events leading to a maternal or infant death. The event had more than 400 attendees from MMRCs in various regions and jurisdictions in the United States. I’m so humbled to have been invited to speak. – April 22, 2023 💜 #community #strategicthinking #maternalhealth #maternalmortality

 

I wanted to share that the 2023 Empower Symposium hosted by Therapy PLUS, LLC was a HUGE success! This year’s theme was centered around raising awareness about maternal and infant health outcomes and child welfare in our State. We discussed strategies for prevention and methods for improving outcomes. The Symposium had over 60 social workers and maternal and infant care advocates to register. Attendees were from all over the State of Mississippi. With the support of the Mississippi State Department of Health and Centers For Disease Control (CDC) ERASE Grant funding we were able to provide the event at no cost to attendees along with lunch. SIX continuing educational credits were approved by the Mississippi Board of Social Workers and Marriage & Family Therapist and were also provided FREE to attendees! I am extremely thankful to our stakeholders Six Dimensions , Mississippi Child Advocacy Center, Krista Woods Counseling and Carlisle Counseling and Consulting Services,LLC for their partnership and dymanic presentations!
