Special Programs
Special Programs addressing current critical issues within our country, including triple negative breast cancer, domestic violence, emergency preparedness, community policing, human & sex trafficking awareness and prevention and maternal mortality and morbidity awareness (improve maternal health equity).
Get Ready, Stay Ready! (Emergency Preparedness)
This initiative can help spread the message about the need to prepare for and respond to potential emergencies, including natural disasters and terrorist attacks. Individuals are encouraged to do three key things: get an emergency supply kit (“To Go Bag); make a family emergency plan; and be informed about the different types of emergencies that could occur and their appropriate responses.
Domestic Violence
Women are much more likely to be victims of intimate partner violence with 85 percent of domestic abuse victims being women and 15 percent men. Too often women hide the fact that they are subjected to violent conditions. Many are hopeless and have no knowledge of where to go for help. NANBPWC will provide education and information about available resources for individuals who are confronted with similar situations either directly or indirectly.
Triple the Pink (Negative Breast Cancer Awareness)
This is a health awareness program designed to prevent and/or improve health outcomes related to Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) through education. The “Triple The Pink” initiative focuses on P.I.N.K. (Preventing and Improving through Necessary Knowledge).
S.A.F.E. Encounters (Sound Advice for Effective Encounters)
In view of the rise in police shootings it is essential that we help our young people learn how to respond, when interacting with law enforcement officials. Club programs and activities should be initiated toward this end. The ultimate goal is to build positive relationships between our youth and law enforcement personnel in order to save lives.
Human and Sex Trafficking Prevention and Awareness
Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act. Every year, millions of men, women, and children are trafficked worldwide – including here in the United States. Sex trafficking is one of the world’s fastest growing criminal industries.
Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Awareness (improve maternal health equity)
America’s maternal mortality rates are among the highest in the developed world, and they are especially high among Black women and Native American women, regardless of their income or education levels. On behalf of the Biden-Harris Administration, Vice President Harris is issuing a nationwide Call to Action to both the public and private sectors to help improve health outcomes for parents and infants in the United States.
