What are first steps to getting involved?

There are many ways to get involved as an individual, a business, an organization, or all.

The first step is knowing that you belong and how critical your participation is to this grass roots movement, by understanding each membership level’s criteria.
Join the National Perinatal Task Force as an Ignitor, a Supporter, an Amplifier, or an official Perinatal Safe Spot.
Watch the National Perinatal Task Force Orientation Webinar to get a better understanding of the collective power, building, leadership, and vision. Each month a new live webinar is hosted by collective leadership with Jennie Joseph, covering various topics, solidarity skill-building, mentorship, support, and training.
