Current Issues in Pregnancy and Birth: Expanding breastfeeding support in the greater Portland area
This fall the course will focus on expanding breastfeeding support in the greater Portland area and specifically at Portland State University. We will be working alongside the Nursing Mother’s Counsel of Oregon to answer questions such as:
- Who is in need of lactation support but is not receiving it?
- How can we improve lactation facilities and other resources to support mothers that are returning to school/work here on campus and at other companies that serve the public?
- How is lactation support related to student attrition and what is needed to help retain students here at Portland State University?
- How can we inform mothers and families about their legal rights and available resources?
