Year End Campaign
Compassion and Dedication
In the early of days of Embrace, when we were only beginning to realize the complex need for cultural sensitivity and patient advocacy within our medical system, we knew that compassion would be at the center of our work. Experience taught that in order to meet the needs of our neighbors we had to step into the complexities of the issues. Along the way we learned that the best advocate and the most compassionate people to step into this work would be peers and community members. Who best to bring compassion than someone who has walked in your shoes.
Our Mission to support, advocate and educate refugee women only works because of Community Liaisons like Aku, Mu Naw, Muzhda, Obed and Dareen. They bring compassion and commitment into their communities that only a peer could bring. They understand the complexities of navigating a new culture and the confusion of stepping into a foreign medical system. That's why we are excited to move into the next phase of Embrace by training and certifying our Community Liaisons to be Childbirth Educators through a nationally recognized certifying agency, CAPPA. Training will begin in 2019 and continue through 2020. We are thrilled!
