Loving Support Peer Counselor Program
The Peer Counselor Program provides specialized breastfeeding education, encouragement, and support to pregnant and breastfeeding women and their infants. Peer Counselors do home visits, telephone consultations, hospital visits, and lead support groups. Peer Counselors also assist with breast pump use and provide outreach to hospitals and physicians on breastfeeding services.
Breastpumps are available for rental for all county residents at the Monroe County Health Department for $10/month + a $20 start up fee. Individuals receiving Medicaid are eligible for a FREE double electric breastpump. Please contact the health department for more information.
