Goals

The overall project goal is to increase workplace lactation support for employed breastfeeding women by equipping lactation consultants and other professionals within community Healthy Start programs and State breastfeeding coalitions to conduct effective outreach and education activities with employers and other stakeholders.

The goal of the technical assistance component of the project is to provide the necessary support and empowerment so that the Healthy Start communities and State breastfeeding coalitions, and their community partners, can successfully conduct trainings and outreach with businesses.   In doing so, the Healthy Start communities and State breastfeeding coalitions will be enabled to contribute to the overall goal as listed above.
