Learning Series
AIM CCI partnered with subject matter experts to develop online learning series that support key concepts found in our Community Care maternal safety bundles. These courses are self-guided modules to further a learner’s awareness, skills, and knowledge. The AIM CCI learning series are accredited by the American Public Health Association (APHA) and each course offers continuing education credits for various disciplines including physicians (CME), nurses (CNE), certified health education specialists (CHES), certified in public health (CPH), and other public health professionals.

After completion, the learner can earn a total of 10 Continuing Education Credits (CEC).

Maternal Monologues for Community Conversations and Action
Maternal Monologues are community presentations of stories by women/birthing persons, their partners, and supporters along the journey of birthing and maternal health. These stories are based on real experiences, and designed to serve as a tool for communities to tell their own stories for healing, raising awareness, and mobilizing for change.
Mary Denise shares her birth experience with her son David, over 40 years ago, after learning that racial disparities in care and outcomes still persist decades later.
*Advisory: Content describing pregnancy loss, miscarriage, and traumatic birth experiences is included.
Download the Maternal Monologues Toolkit
The way that each community presents its Maternal Monologues may look different from place to place. They can be in-person or virtual. You can be as creative as you’d like in your production. This toolkit is designed to provide a guide for getting started.
