In this four-part course, participants were asked to consider specific aspects of establishing MLPs and were be given access to resources designed to increase learning about the impact of unmet legal needs on maternal and child health. The collaborative brought together legal service providers and health centers to learn from each other and faculty advisors representing the Georgetown University Health Justice Alliance and the Center for Children’s Advocacy/Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital partnership.
