Category: Webinar Wednesday
This presentation explores the major lack of education and awareness surrounding maternity leave in California and how strategic leave planning can dramatically improve postpartum outcomes for working families. Ashley Shaw, founder of The Maternity Guru, shares how her company helps parents maximize job protection and income while on leave. This allows most mothers to take 6+ months of paid and job-protected leave compared to the average of 12 weeks. Attendees will gain insight into why parental leave planning is a valuable resource for the birth center community and how longer, less stressful leave supports overall maternal health, postpartum recovery, and bonding.
