Mothera and Child Resources: A Resource Pamphlet Supporting Mothers and Children in Lynn

Abstract

This project, completed with the Lynn Public Health Division, focused on identifying and organizing resources available to mothers and children in the community. By assessing local programs and gaps in services, I developed an accessible resource pamphlet to support families and improve awareness of available assistance. Research highlights ongoing disparities in maternal health, including limited access to care and higher rates of hypertension and financial concerns among recent immigrants. To ensure inclusivity, the pamphlet should be translated into multiple languages and regularly updated. It will be distributed during North Shore Mother Visiting Group appointments and made available in the Lynn City Hall Resource Room.
