North Star Birthing Services

Fear should never be a barrier to receiving prenatal, birth, postpartum, or lactation care - yet for many families across the United States, it is.

As part of the Great Lakes Breastfeeding Webinars, join us for “Caring in Crisis: Best Practices for Birth and Lactation Support When Families Fear Detention.”

This powerful session centers the lived realities of immigrant and racially marginalized families navigating healthcare systems under fear of surveillance, detention, and harm. Together, we’ll explore practical, community-centered strategies to support safety, trust, and compassionate care during crisis.
