About This Project
Summary
Led by Black and Brown mothers with lived experience navigating the child welfare system, ChiByDesign co-created a Maternal Success Kit, with items and resources for mother and baby to support mothers during their pregnancy and motherhood journey. The kit is a part of a preventative system of services, including policy recommendations, aimed at reducing the likelihood of child welfare involvement and improving maternal health outcomes for mothers of color.
Goals & Objectives
Our goal was to co-create a maternal success kit that supports the success and well-being of Black and Brown mothers and babies, improves their maternal health outcomes, and eliminates disproportionate removals of Black and Brown babies by the child welfare system.
Results & Impact
The result is a Maternal Success Kit to address the structural challenges Black and Brown mothers face in New Jersey. New Jersey Commissioner Beyer said, “We will use the accompanying report, prepared by ChiByDesign, to help guide our transformational efforts in this regard.”
