The Carter County Health Department is helping support new and expecting mothers with an upcoming virtual Healthy Mom and Baby Workshop, offered through the KY-MOMS program.
This free online workshop is designed for those who are currently pregnant or up to 12 months postpartum, and is open to eligible participants across several area counties, including Carter, Boyd, Greenup, Elliott, Bath, Lawrence, Menifee, Montgomery, Morgan, and Rowan counties.
To make it easy to fit into busy schedules, the workshop is being offered on three different dates. Participants can choose Tuesday, February 10th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, February 21st from 10 a.m. until noon, or Wednesday, February 25th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Registration deadlines apply for each session.
The Healthy Mom and Baby Workshop focuses on education, resources, and support for both mother and child, especially for those who have not previously attended a KY-MOMS Healthy Baby workshop.
As an added incentive, participants who complete the workshop will receive a $25 Walmart gift card.
For more information or to register, you can contact Amy Jeffers at 606-329-8588, extension 4099, or by email at ajeffers@pathways-ky.org.
It’s another example of local health partners working together to provide support, education, and encouragement during one of life’s most important journeys.
