The agency supports our Community Voice program, which is a grassroots initiative designed to teach residents about issues related to black infant mortality. During the five-week session, the curriculum covers topics such as prenatal care, domestic violence, nutrition and parenting. After the five-week session, participants graduate and are deemed Lay Health Advisors for the program. As advisors, they spend the next six months discussing the program in the community at churches, barbershops, beauty salons and other places.
