Annual Maternal & Child Health Convening

The 4th Trimester: Surviving, Healing, and Thriving Beyond Birth
Friday, Novemer 6, 2026 | 11:00 am to 2:00 p.m.
Doors Open at 10:30 am
Madam Walker Legacy Center, 617 Indiana Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46202

In most communities, pregnancy is defined and evaluated in three semesters. The 4th Trimester, after the baby arrives, is referred to as postpartum, which can encompass emotions and hardships that change everyday life, impacting finances, mental, physical, and emotional health, basic needs, and the entire family dynamic.

Join us for an interactive maternal and child health convening that challenges the idea that postpartum care begins and ends with the person who gives birth or that the postpartum period has a simple expiration date. All are welcome. 

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Trina Mason, MD, MPH, FACOG

• Reginald Wesley (moderator) Dr. Trina Mason, MD, MPH, FACOG, Earl Wallace, Sebron Worthy, Jr., and Indie Jones
