As Black Maternal Health Week approaches, we are pleased to share the Nurture NJ calendar of events with you. In recognition of this critical week, founded by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance, the 2025 calendar includes 61 community events happening over the next two weeks. These events range from community baby showers and solidarity walks, to relaxation and self care workshops and virtual support groups! All events seek to foster awareness, advocacy and community engagement while uplifting the voices and experiences of Black mothers and birthing individuals. 🌐You can access the calendar by clicking on this link ➡️ https://nj.gov/governor/admin/fl/docs/2025-BMHW-Calendar.pdf While BMHW takes place from April 11th to April 17th, our commitment to celebrating Black mothers and their babies extends throughout the entire year. Many of the organizations featured in this calendar are Black-owned and women-led, and we encourage you to support their events not just during Black Maternal Health Week, but well beyond it! #TheCooperative #SouthJersey #BlackMaternalHealthWeek #BlackMaternalHealth #BlackMaternalHealthAwareness #BlackMaternalHealthMatters #BMHW #NurtureNJ (fb)

The Cooperative and its subsidiary, Family Health Initiatives, were proud to cosponsor the Maternal Health & Perinatal Safety Symposium presented by our sister consortium, Partnership for Maternal and Child Health of Northern NJ. The daylong conference, held at William Paterson University of New Jersey, featured insightful presentations and conversation centered on improving maternal health outcomes in New Jersey. We thank all those who organized and contributed to this impactful convening. #TheCooperative #FamilyHealthInitiatives #MaternalHealth #MaternalHealthMatters #HealthEquity #PerinatalSafety #HealthyPregnancies #HealthyBabies (fb)
