Navigating Pregnancy and Nursing as a Mother in Georgia

In honor of Breastfeeding Awareness Month in Georgia, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division along with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission will be hosting a webinar series to remind you that although parenthood can be overwhelming, there are local resources in Georgia to support you with pregnancy, lactation, and more! 

This webinar will provide you with information on the federal laws that protect pregnant workers from discrimination, provide time off for the birth or adoption of a child, and ensure nursing workers can take breaks to pump breast milk while at work. Helping you understand the protections afforded by current laws allows you to advocate for yourself at work and assert your rights. The webinar will also equip advocates with information to assist new and expecting mothers seeking to assert their workplace rights.

After the event, enjoy a panel session to introduce local resources such as WIC offices, milk banks, support groups, and lactation consultants to you, a parent and or nursing mother. 

We hope to see you there, virtually, on Thursday, August 20, 2024, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
