Resources for Health Providers & Professionals

Families rely on their health care providers to triage and support their breastfeeding goals and journey. Utilize free education and training resources to stay updated on current and emerging lactation care so you can provide the best support for your patients. Attend trainings to learn about disparities in lactation and how to provide targeted support. CCMC Educating Practices and CARE: Roots of Racial Inequities are two available trainings in Connecticut supported in part by the Department of Public Health.
