Join us live on March 7 to celebrate IBCLCs and breastfeeding support workers throughout the world. We’re honouring you and your dedication to families with this free webinar! Come listen to Paulina E., BS, IBCLC, RLC as she presents “Leadership Skills in Lactation: Make extraordinary things happen”. We’re thrilled to be offering this event live in English and then as a recording in Spanish. Register for this event here:https://www.goldlearning.com/ce-library/upcoming-live-webinars/ibclc-gift18-detail

The scope of breastfeeding support continues well beyond the breastfeeding family. Extended family, caregivers, workplaces, and the community all fall under the umbrella of needing education and support if families are to be successful in meeting their breastfeeding goals. Lactation advocates can learn and demonstrate leadership skills to create lasting change on the community level. Framing community breastfeeding education as a public health strategy can allow us to look for opportunities in childhood initiatives, mental health programs, social interventions, and more!

This event is the perfect opportunity to find inspiration, connect with colleagues, and learn how you can become a leader in creating a change in breastfeeding culture.

Reserve your seat today and join us! Attending this presentation will help you hone your skills and will provide you with 1 free CERP. Unable to join us live? We have you covered! You’ll have 4 weeks to access the recording on our website so you can watch at your convenience.

We look forward to sharing this event and celebrating with all of you!
