Last Thursday Wilder AABC hosted our first PAID LEAVE CAREGIVER ENGAGEMENT EVENT with the theme of "WAITING TO EXHALE: REST, RECOVERY AND PAID LEAVE!! We had game, activities, speakers and TONS OF GIVEAWAYS !

Prioritizing self care and wellness can be easier said than done when you are a working adult but the new Minnesota Paid Leave Program should make those moments easier to manage.

Our next event will be this summer, stay tuned for the next cool theme!!

We at WILDER AABC are so thankful for every single community member who came out for the first COMMUNITY BABY SHOWER!! If you missed it, READ THIS!!!

Community baby shower offers resourceful space for expecting moms The Black Mamas Matter Alliance reports that while Medicaid covers 42% of births in the U.S., it covers 60% of births to Black mothers. With the Trump administration's trillion dollar cut to Medicaid over the next decade, the alliance worries about the impending impact to maternal healthcare.
