About the event

We invite you to participate in the Essie B. & William Earl Glenn Foundation for Better Living and the ACEs Awareness Foundation of Mississippi’s 5th Annual Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)Trauma and Awareness Symposium. The Symposium will be in-person on Thursday, April 18, 2024, at Reunion Golf & Country Club in Madison, Mississippi.

This year’s Symposium is entitled, Strengthening Reproductive Health in America: Preventing Family, Maternal, and Child Traumas and Early Death through Health Education, Early Diagnosis and Treatment, and Non-Corrosive Politics. We are excited to feature Dr. Monique Rainford, Renowned Author of Pregnant While Black and Assistant Clinical Professor at Yale University, as our keynote speaker.

Mississippi has the highest rate of preventable deaths and according to the Mississippi State Medical Association, with Black infants nearly twice as likely as whites to die over the last decade. Further, the maternal mortality rate increased from 2016 to 2020. To educate the public and raise awareness about these grave issues, the symposium will feature nationally and internationally renowned researchers, public health, medical, and community professionals working in the maternal health sphere. In particular, experts will examine cardiovascular health, access to OB-GYNs in underserved communities, access to medicine and health insurance, and changes needed in our politics.

We hope that you will consider supporting our symposium.
