What is Every Woman Southeast? A coalition of leaders in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee to build multi-state, multi-layered partnerships to improve the health of women and infants in the Southeast. We seek to foster leadership building and resource sharing, stimulate new ideas, develop innovative partnerships, and promote effective programs and policies for moving the women’s health agenda forward in our region.

Every Woman Southeast Objectives Engage a wide range of stakeholders to develop the political will needed to build and sustain an equity focused, life course approach to MCH and preconception health. Rethink and integrate program and policy strategies to support low income women and men in creating and actualizing their plans for a family Create a successful, enduring coalition with measurable results. Put the life course model into practice Leverage policy and advocacy opportunities to support a strategic approach to improving the health of women and babies. Capitalize on social media and social capital to promote our messages. Highlight and build from a strengths-based perspective. Re-engage business and faith communities. A series of tools, lessons learned and promising practices that communities can use to broaden their work to include the life course model and preconception health. Increased momentum and political will across our states for adopting a life course framework and promoting preconception health. Development of new strategies to work with men and women to achieve their reproductive goals.

Reproductive Life Planning Community Grants GOAL To identify and fund innovative community-based initiatives that seek to work with traditional and non-traditional partners to improve women and men’s capacity to plan childbearing and improve preconception and interconception health using a life course approach.

What are we looking for? Projects that take an innovative approach to increasing reproductive life planning (RLP) among young men and women in their community. Projects will convene a diverse committee / workgroup and increase awareness in their communities about LC and RLP. They will target populations with the highest risk for unintended pregnancy. Projects may be an expansion of an existing program or completely new. Grantees must be willing to participate in monthly calls with project leaders from other sites and help develop an implementation tool kit. Grantees will receive considerable support and technical assistance from the EWSE staff, leadership team and their state team.
