We host From Pain to Power. In partnership with documentary filmmaker Devorah Herbert, Planned Parenthood LA, Black Women for Wellness, AAIMM and Claris Health, this transformative experience unites communities to share stories, make connections, and commit to policy and practice changes in the movement for perinatal mental health justice.
