Maternal Health at Worcester RISE

The Maternal/Child Health program at Worcester RISE for Health provides comprehensive care to expectant mothers and their children. It offers prenatal care for healthy pregnancies, guidance on newborn care, and postnatal support. Through trauma-informed care, the program helps mothers navigate childbirth and early motherhood by connecting them with essential resources like transportation, car seats, and newborn assessments.

The poster above features a "hand garden" created during one of the Newborn groups held as part of the Maternal/Child Health Program. Mothers traced their own hands and their babies hands, then arranged them together to resemble a blooming garden.

“Babies represent the hope for your future. To have a baby is a really hopeful thing… its really easy to focus on the adversity and stress so it’s great that we can have a moment where we can celebrate babies”
