BIH participants attend weekly group sessions (10 prenatal and 10 postpartum) designed to help them access their own strengths and set health promoting goals for themselves and their babies. Women can self- refer or be referred by their provider. You can reach Shamelle Bremond by phone at 510-618-2019 or by email at Shamelle.Bremond@acgov.org.
