ACTT WORKSHOPS

ACTT is for use in the Black community to increase knowledge, skills and confidence in navigating maternity and medical services to obtain respectful person-centered care. We raise awareness of human rights to safe care that is free from discrimination, and the health benefits of holistic support for birthing people and families.

Workshop participants practice asserting their rights and making their voices heard in interactive role play of medical situations. We do not give medical advice in our programming, and we do not impose our views on participants. We do encourage community members to use the tools they practice in ACTT Workshops to partner with their providers and take charge of their healthcare.

Workshops are offered free of charge on the last Wednesday of each month except November and December, when special dates are available.
