Objective:

Participants will be able to initiate a breastfeeding peer counselor program in their community.

Pre-requisite

Attendees must have completed either the 1-day Breastfeeding Management class or the 2-day Principles of Lactation Management class within the last 3 years to be eligible to attend.

This class is intended for Texas WIC staff and priority for placement is given to them. Others may be considered for attendance. Please contact Kristina Arrieta for more information at 512-341-4593 or email.

Agenda – being revised

Class will now be only one day.

Dates & Location:

This class has been cancelled due to the new USDA regulations and curriculum for Peer Counselor Programs which will not be implemented until November 2011. At that time, the current curriculum will be revised to include the new information. Texas WIC agencies will receive a memo regarding this and also when the classes resume and are scheduled or feel free to check here periodically.

We apologize for this inconvenience.
