Flipping the Script: A Teach-In for Healthcare Workers on Homelessness, Pregnancy, Postpartum Health

Pregnant people experiencing homelessness face an array of challenges when interacting with the healthcare and shelter systems. At this homeless teach-in event, a panel of individuals with lived experience of homelessness and pregnancy will teach healthcare professionals, trainees, and other interested audience members about their experiences navigating healthcare and other services during pregnancy and postpartum. Attendees will gain a better understanding of the intersection between homelessness, pregnancy, and postpartum health, and how healthcare providers can better support their patients.
This event was co-organized by the Health x Housing Lab in the NYU School of Medicine Department of Population Health and The Health & Housing Consortium.
