NEWS FROM POWER TO DECIDE
Introducing the Reproductive Well-Being Framework Podcast
A new three-episode podcast series from the Reproductive Health National Training Center explores the Reproductive Well-Being Framework. The framework strives to ensure that all people have equitable access to the information, services, systems, and support they need to make their own decisions related to sexuality and reproduction throughout their lives. Hosted by Dr. Raegan McDonald-Mosley, and featuring Power to Decide’s Chief of staff, Dr. Gillian Sealy, this series provides an overview of the framework and how this approach can support clients to determine if, when, and under what circumstances to get pregnant and have a child. You can find the podcast and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
