We’re at the Ohio Statehouse advocating for housing support for pregnant women and new families. A safe home is the foundation for a healthy start. Let’s ensure every Ohio family has what they need to thrive! #HousingFirst #OHInfantVitality.

In September, @FirstYearCLE partnered with an amazing team from @cwru's Student Run Health Clinic to collect diapers and donations in support of three local service providers, Diaper Bank of Greater Cleveland, Goods Bank NEO and Womankind. The drive collected over 6,500 diapers!

Racism. Toxic stress. Birth outcomes. How are these things intertwined? Join @FirstYearCLE for a film screening and panel discussion of the short film, "Toxic: A Black Woman's Story," which seeks to explore that question, on Wednesday, April 19, from 7–8:30 pm, in Noble Commons.

“I would like to tell everyone who has experienced the loss of an infant or miscarriage or stillbirth not to hold your pain inside. You need to talk, seek counseling, go to a support group, but don’t hold it inside.” @SpectrumNews1OH @FirstYearCLE

Racism, not race itself, is the main driver of maternal and infant mortality and low social determinants of health.
First Year Cleveland retweeted
Loss and grief are not taboo subjects. By saying their child's name, remembering birthdays or asking a loss parent how they are doing, you will not remind them of the loss of their child because they never forget. But you will help them remember their child lived.
