Reproductive Justice Symposium: Moving Towards Action

The MA SRH Training Center invites you to join us for our first in-person event, focused on reproductive justice! We’ve partnered with the MA Department of Public Health (MDPH), state and national experts, and community leaders to bring you a day filled with opportunities to explore how reproductive justice influences your work. Through a mix of plenary sessions, workshops, and peer-to-peer discussions, we hope to help you identify practical steps to advance reproductive justice in the communities you serve. Register today and join us on June 25, 2024!

Location? The Reproductive Justice Symposium will be hosted in-person in Waltham, MA. Location details will be shared with participants via email upon completing registration.

Who should attend? SRHP staff at all levels and anyone who interacts with patients are invited to register for the Symposium. This includes front desk staff, health educators, MAs, RNs, clinical providers (MDs, DOs, NPs, CNW). We encourage SRHP agencies to send multiple folks from your team, with particular attention to staff who may have fewer opportunities to receive professional development or training.
