About these resources

CDC recognizes that talking about maternal mortality is a sensitive topic. We encourage people who have experienced loss to connect with their support networks. We share these resources with sincere respect for American Indian and Alaska Native traditions concerning pregnancy and birth.

This project is supported through partnership and funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Minority Health; as well as partnership with the CDC Foundation, with support from Merck through its Merck for Mothers Program.
