Perinatal Wellness of Madera County

The perinatal wellness program was developed to work specifically with birthing persons, dads and their families to  support whole family wellness. Our staff consists of a care navigator and  maternal behavioral health professional who work together with the birthing person and their family to develop a comprehensive  plan of care. Perinatal wellness focuses on combating social determinants of health: food insecurity and basic essential items, relationships and sexual health education, employment, health and medical care, mental health and substance use/abuse.

Through weekly one-on-one in-person visits, our care coordinator will administer evidence based assessments and screening tools, provide health education, linkage to resources, and help with appointment tracking and goal setting.

    LEAD logo

    Leadership in Equity Action and Development (LEAD)

    Who We Are

    LEAD stands for Leadership in Equity Action and Development. The goal of the LEAD Program is to promote and protect a tobacco-free lifestyle for all Butte and Yuba County residents. We believe passionately in advocating for health equity and environmental justice for low-income people, and in communities of color.

    Our GOALS

    1) Developing Upstream Approaches to Tobacco Control  By including tobacco control in general plans and other municipal codes, we protect communities from exposure to tobacco products and help to prevent poor health later in life. We believe limiting exposure to tobacco is an environmental justice issue.

    2) Growing Community Advocates – We support and empower youth and young adults to become advocates for the health of their community and fight back against the tobacco industry’s intentional targeting of certain communities.

    3) Resisting Targeted Price Promotions – The tobacco industry spends billions of dollars annually on targeted advertising. Low-priced products and coupons contribute to high smoking rates among people of color and low-income communities and make it easier for youth to become addicted.
