Partnerships & Resources for a Healthier California

MotherToBaby California’s bilingual (English/Spanish) experts work with health organizations and community partners across California to provide scientific, evidence-based information on the risk/safety of a variety of exposures during pregnancy and breastfeeding including medications, maternal health conditions, workplace hazards, and more.

Community Education Opportunities

We partner with community organizations to further educate their staff and/or clients about pregnancy and breastfeeding exposure risks and safety information. This education helps support healthier communities by reducing the risk of birth defects and other adverse outcomes for mom and baby. Partners can request MotherToBaby California specialists to give educational talks to the general public and to employees on the topic of general or specific exposures during pregnancy and breastfeeding or on MotherToBaby’s services and research studies. We can also partner with you by co-hosting or participating in both virtual and (during non-pandemic times) live, in-person community events including festivals, health fairs, social media events, and more. Please use interest form to establish a partnership or to request more information.

Patient Education & Provider Materials

We offer free patient education materials and provider resources about our information service and pregnancy studies.
