Culturally Responsive Care Webinar Series

The Healing Mixtape: A Blueprint to Advancing Culturally Responsive Perinatal Care

The Healing Mixtape is an innovative, highly interactive session that blends arts‑based reflection with evidence‑informed perinatal practice to strengthen culturally responsive care across Wisconsin’s maternal and infant health ecosystem. Adapted from Dr. Diamond D. Williams’ nationally recognized Healing Mixtape framework, this session uses curated music, guided dialogue, and reflective activities to illuminate the lived experiences of birthing people and the clinicians, doulas, midwives, nurses, and public health professionals who support them.

Participants will explore how music can surface the emotional, cultural, and structural realities that shape perinatal care—revealing moments of trust, tension, resilience, and healing. Through guided listening and practical application, attendees will examine how rhythm, lyrics, and storytelling can deepen understanding of patient experiences, strengthen communication, and foster psychological safety in clinical and community‑based settings.
