accessible, equitable, evidence- based, and culturally humble lactation support for families of color.
Thrive Collective is rooted in the knowledge that for women to be able to breastfeed their infants they must have access to breastfeeding care in the spaces where they exist.
Our Metro Atlanta Lactation Consultants (IBCLC) are committed to working together to provide the highest quality breastfeeding care. We are equality driven to improve initiation and duration of breastfeeding among black women.
We understand that to be impactful in supporting breastfeeding for women of color we need to provide care from pregnancy through postpartum with education, support, and resources.
