This course uses humor and scenarios to point out the importance of building bridges across the spectrum of perinatal providers and community support. Genuine relationships with cross-referrals allow for exceptional support for our clients. Entrusted providers must be professional, inclusive and open in order to provide a continuum of care. It reminds all professionals how important it is to have a wide variety of referrals. Developing relationships with other professionals benefits everyone—especially those they serve. 

Participants will be able to:

1. Implement self-evaluations to determine if they are building or burning bridges
2. Show skills to enhance communication among colleagues
3. List pillars in the perinatal field who are essential to the breastfeeding relationship
4. List factors that cause bridges to fail
