Informed and Empowered is a free, community-centered webinar series offering practical, trusted information about common pregnancy conditions such as perinatal mood disorders, substance use, gestational diabetes, hypertension, and more. We’ll also explore how lifestyle factors and social factors – like stress, racism, and access to care – impact health.  

Designed for pregnant people and the people who support them, this series will empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health. The series is supported by Unite WI and Healthy Start and led by experts from UW School of Medicine and Public Health Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
