The OVA provides essential education sessions to raise awareness about factors contributing to maternal mortality, recognizing that the burden should not rest solely on birthing people to advocate for their needs. These trainings are designed to empower members of our local community with the knowledge and skills necessary to enhance maternal health outcomes by promoting health-seeking behaviors for birthing individuals in their circles.

We have successfully launched a community-centered training program focused on recognizing the early warning signs of postpartum complications. We are in active stages of expanding our educational programs to cover topics such as postpartum depression and provider-focused awareness of intimate partner violence. Stay tuned for more information later this year!
