SEMPQIC Leadership

Our Mission at SEMPQIC is to reduce the disparity between Black and White adverse maternal, perinatal, and infant outcomes, including infant and maternal mortality, by creating a coordinated, equitable, and sustainable network for perinatal care based on best practices, evidence-based, and innovative community solutions that will result in system changes and improved birth outcomes for all babies born in Southeast Michigan.

THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF THE SOLUTION!

By the end of the Summit, attendees will be able to:

  • Describe how perinatal mental health disparities are impacted by root causes.

  • Identify strategies to improve their personal mental health as providers.

  • Identify community resources that support individual and community mental health.

  • Increase awareness of the signs of perinatal mental health challenges.

Together, we will reconnect with the values, practices, and community-driven solutions that have empowered Black families for generations.
