Roundtable-Where Maternal Health Communication Breaks Down: A Working Roundtable

What makes communication in maternal care so challenging, and what would help? This interactive roundtable invites participants with experience in maternal health to share where communication breaks down in real-world care. Together, we will focus on a high-stakes moment to identify key gaps, what providers need to respond effectively, and the system barriers that make this difficult in practice. Insights from this discussion will be used to curate a health literacy toolkit designed specifically for the maternal health field, highlighting practical tools and approaches that can improve communication in real-world settings.
