Event Sponsorship
Are you having an event that supports parents and babies or addresses gaps in maternal, paternal, and infant health and well-being? If yes, KBEN & Healthy Blue can partner with you to support the event!
Parent Gathering Circles (Virtual)
Through a collaboration between Kansas Birth Justice Society and the Kansas Birth Equity Network, we've created a brand new online space for Black and brown parents in Kansas to connect, vent, talk through our common experiences, and support each other. We'll discuss a new hot topic each week in this private community space that was created just for us.
Join us online from anywhere you are on Wednesdays at 6:30 pm CST!
