Prenatal to Five Impact Collaborative November 2021 Meeting

The Prenatal to Five Impact Collaborative (PN-5 Impact Collaborative) meets bi-monthly. This peer group is focused on learning together about the needs of pregnant women and families with children up to age 5 and how to best support them. This group is newly forming and any Maryland Philanthropy Network member who would like to connect and learn about investing in and supporting Prenatal to Five spaces is welcome.

We will be joined by Dr. Jocelyn Gainers, Ed.D., CAC-AD, AS, CEBL , the Director of Baltimore City’s Family Recovery Program, which works with parents with substance abuse disorders whose children have child abuse and/or neglect cases. We will also be joined by Kim Smith, LCSW-C, the Assistant Director of Frederick County’s Department of Social Services and rejoined by Jessica Lertora, MSW, LCSW-C, the Community Coordinator for Frederick County’s Safe Babies Court to learn more about how their program was created.

Maryland Philanthropy Network members interested in joining are encouraged to reach out to Melissa Rock prior to attending a meeting.
