It Takes a Village: New comic book on Aboriginal maternal child health
Printer-friendly versionThe Healthy Aboriginal Network (HAN) has launched a new maternal child health comic book.
It Takes a Village is about Lara, a young mom-to-be that is visited by Danis, also a young mom. Danis teaches Lara (visually) the importance of eating healthy foods, avoiding alcohol, breastfeeding, keeping dad involved and bonding with her baby. The story was focus group tested online with health professionals and in-person with young, Aboriginal moms.
HAN gratefully acknowledges the support of Health Canada on this project.
You can find a preview of the book, as well as pricing, on their website. Please send an email to sean@thehealthyaboriginal.net if you'd like to order this, or any other of their health and social comic books. Custom rear resource covers are available for high volume, provincial and national distribution.
