Strong Mothers Maternal Resource Program
The Strong Mothers Maternal Resource Program is dedicated to improving maternal and infant health outcomes by providing education, resources, support and advocacy for women and families within Alabama. We believe that healthy pregnancies begin before birth and that every family deserves access to the information and tools needed to make informed decisions throughout their pregnancy journey.
Through community education, resource navigation, maternal health awareness, and our Birth Empowerment Childbirth Education Program, we work to equip women with the knowledge and confidence needed to advocate for themselves, support healthy pregnancies and promote safer births.
Understanding the Risk
Infant mortality continues to impact families across the United States and Alabama. While not every infant death can be prevented, many risks can be reduced through education, early intervention, access to healthcare and community support.
| Understanding the Risk — Common factors associated with infant mortality include: | KLA Taking Action — Khairi and Little Angels’ Memorial is committed to helping families reduce these risks through education, prevention, and support. |

| Low birth weight | Providing evidence-based childbirth education |

| Birth asphyxia (lack of oxygen at birth) | Educating families on safe sleep practices |
| Infections | Connecting women to maternal health resources and support services |

| Limited access to prenatal care | Supporting maternal mental wellness before, during, and after pregnancy |
| Maternal health complications | Advocating for healthier pregnancies, safer births, and stronger families |
| Unsafe sleep practices | |

Together, these efforts help empower families with the knowledge and resources needed to improve maternal and infant health outcomes.
