Welcome to the sixth and final release of my conversation with Salena King-Coughlin. As an educator and researcher, Salena digs into the numbers of Oklahoma families who are tied to maternal morbidity. She shares ideas and additional ways to plan or advocate when you truly feel like you have exhausted all advocacy avenues. 

I am so grateful to Salena for sharing her story and experience. She is a wife, educator, infant mental health specialist, Oklahoman, and mom who wants to better her community and state for those giving birth!  

I know we are both hopeful that by Salena sharing her experience it will provide awareness, education, and conversation to the topic of maternal morbidity and mortality, as well as support for others who have experienced similar birth trauma and postpartum complications. 

We don’t have all the answers, but I know we should all feel comfortable becoming part of the conversation and solution to help keep mothers and babies safe throughout pregnancy, delivery, and the postpartum period. 

On behalf of Salena and myself I want to say thank you for listening to the hard conversation describing what Salena and her family walked through. 

 

Every mom matters; every life matters!
