Grounded Pathways: Maternal Health and Thriving Work

Grounded Pathways addresses the intersection of workforce infrastructure, maternal health, and career advancement for Native women. Partnering with Montana Tribal Communities, the project co-creates culturally grounded narratives recognizing healthy mothers and babies as essential for thriving workplaces. By integrating Indigenous birth justice and family-centered models with employer engagement, the initiative promotes maternal wellbeing. These strength-based solutions create environments where Native women thrive, offering a framework adaptable for other Tribal Communities.
