NJEA is proud to offer a new series of virtual workshops and conversations on the topic of building a family.

In this series, NJEA members will share resources around more equitable birth outcomes and mental health support for parents, maximizing paid leave access and options, and lactation rights for educators.  Experts will provide information and answer your questions.  We will also discuss ways that we can advocate for ourselves and our colleagues.  The virtual series is detailed below, and is open to all NJEA members.
