BC Guide - Community Chapter Meetings

Breastfeeding USA Community Chapter meetings are a core service that delivers the mission. The support group meeting format allows Breastfeeding Counselors to share evidence-based information with participants while also facilitating more informal mother-to-mother support, with every mother able to share their own experiences with the group. Mothers who participate in these types of meetings are more likely to meet their personal breastfeeding goals. The sub-sections in this part of the BC Guide provide information to help BCs host effective support group meetings. This section of the BC Guide includes the following topics:

• BC Guide - Choosing a Location
• BC Guide - Preparing the Meeting Space
• BC Guide - Meeting Topics and Starting Discussion
• BC Guide - Group Dynamics and Facilitating Discussion
