Maternal and Child Health

CAI helps health departments, state agencies, community-based organizations, and community members promote health and wellness for mothers, children, and families. Through our training, technical assistance, and implementation support, we help health care providers strengthen their services, and we help community health workers maximize their impact with people they serve.

• CAI has supported Special Supplemental Nutrition Services for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) programs across the country, and for several years we have served as New York State’s WIC Training Center. We help agencies improve their services by establishing and building core competencies of staff, improving wait times and workflows, and promoting effective communication skills.
  
  

• Our Maternal and Infant Health Project helps community-based organizations and agencies improve health outcomes for mothers and infants in New York City neighborhoods. We are helping these organizations enhance their services and advance best practices in areas essential to women’s and infants’ health, such as safe sleep and toxic stress.
