Maternal and Child Health Foundations

Social Justice Foundations in MCH

Maternal and child health disparities aren't accidental—they result from demographic, economic, political, and social factors layered across time. Understanding these structures is the starting point for leadership in the field.

This course examines MCH through a multidisciplinary lens: developmental patterns, epidemiological trends, behavioral factors, and the systems that enable or block health equity. You'll learn how to diagnose these complex problems and advocate for change.

Designed for public health professionals, program managers, and future MCH leaders who want to move beyond treating symptoms to addressing root causes affecting women and families.
