BFFC provided an orientation to the Ten Steps in 2022. See Communities We Have Worked With.
In 2022, Healthy Start, Inc. in Pittsburgh brought a group of Wilkinsburg stakeholders to Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities to learn about the Ten Steps, and we provided an orientation to the designation process. Healthy Start’s Center for Urban Breastfeeding continues its lactation support, education, advocacy and outreach work with Black families in Allegheny County.
The Wilkinsburg Ten Steps effort did not continue past that early stage, and we have not been in contact with the team since 2022. Our role throughout was technical assistance.
BFFC’s own programs in every community operate on universal access, open to all families. Partner organizations describe their own outreach in their own words; the support network we help build is for everyone.
