Public Health is defined as a science-based, evidence-backed field that promotes and protects the health and wellbeing of all people and their communities. The purpose of the Summit is to address the intersectionality of public health, mental and behavioral health, economic opportunity, and to develop strategies that will help improve the overall health and wellbeing of the LGBTQ+ community. Some key themes for the Summit are public health; policy development and implementation; issue advocacy; research and education; and economic opportunity.

    Self-Care and Breastfeeding

    While you’re parenting, it can be easy to lose track of those hobbies and interests that can help you live well and improve both your physical health and mental health. You may experience seasons in life when it feels like self-care is on the back burner, as well as seasons when you are evolving and creating new methods of taking care of yourself.
