The Southern Birth Justice Network has partnered with the Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County to launch the first pregnancy and birth preparation app that identifies key elements impacting birth outcomes and helps pregnant people set and obtain health and wellness goals.
BirthTrak offers pregnant people support through their personal journey, pregnancy, birth preparation and building postpartum support.
It is a free, easy to use resource developed to promote preventative health practices in black, brown, youth, immigrant, indigenous, LGBTQ+, and low income families impacted by gaps in maternal health.
Southern Birth Justice Network would like to invite all pregnant people, providers and support people to try out BirthTrak and participate in providing user experience feedback via survey with the official launching of the BirthTRAK app.
The first 10 participants who download, test, and complete the survey will receive a $150 gift card.
The BirthTRAK app was created by SBJN's Media Director, K Sanderson and Community Consultant, Vita Malama with support from Executive Director, Jamarah Amani and Project Coordinator, Catherine Wade, coding by Shantanu Iyengar and Apps Without Code.
Midwifery care is holistic, healing, and humanistic. It has a rich herstory and legacy in communities of color.
Our vision is to make this care accessible to all peoples- especially Black, Brown, youth, immigrant, indigenous, LGBTQ+, low- income and other marginalized communities.
Our mission is to expand Birth Justice by using story telling, popular education, and community organizing to improve access to midwifery and doula care.
SBJN organizes Black midwives and student midwives to establish a representative voice at the national level that clearly identifies and supports the various needs and interests of Black birthing people.
SBJN offers educational training in the areas of conception, reproductive & maternity care, family planning, abortion & miscarriage services, maternal health, fitness, nutrition, self-care, breast feeding, and birth justice.
SBJN offers a 1-year doula certification training that focuses on supportive services, maternal health/disparities, and advocacy skills to support a healthy pregnancy, termination, as well as multiple birth options.
