Services for Priority Populations Resources
The Maternal Health Network is committed to elevating the needs of priority populations in San Bernardino County, which includes pregnant and postpartum: Black and African Americans, teens, undocumented immigrants, victims of domestic violence, and incarcerated individuals. While all women face a baseline set of challenges before, during, and after pregnancy, specific issues faced by marginalized groups may be exacerbated by pregnancy. Living in a high poverty area; experiencing food insecurity, homelessness, or intimate partner abuse; and/or being undocumented are extreme difficulties in and of themselves. Additionally, being a woman of color or a teen can carry its own set of challenges. Navigating one, or more, of these while pregnant requires access to special resources to support the delivery of a healthy baby and well-being of the mother. Specialty resources available to support priority populations in San Bernardino County are listed below.
