An upcoming community listening opportunity hosted by First 5 Sonoma County, centers the lived experiences of Pasifika women and birthing people in Sonoma County.
This Maternal Health Focus Group with Pasifika Women is a safe and supportive space for community members to share their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences—and to help shape the future of maternal health care in our region.
About the Focus Group
If you have given birth within the past three years, you are invited to participate in a virtual focus group designed to uplift Pasifika voices and experiences. Your insights will directly inform how maternal health services are developed and delivered in Sonoma County, helping ensure care that is culturally responsive, equitable, and community-informed.
Participants will be compensated for their time with a $50 gift card.

Why This Matters
Pasifika communities are often underrepresented in maternal health research and decision-making. This focus group is an important opportunity to ensure that real experiences—joys, challenges, barriers, and strengths—are heard and reflected in local systems of care.
By participating, you are contributing to:
-
Improved maternal and postpartum care in Sonoma County
-
Greater cultural responsiveness in health systems
-
Community-driven solutions rooted in lived experience
Help Spread the Word
If you know someone who may be interested or eligible to participate, please consider sharing this opportunity within your networks. Community voices are essential to creating healthier futures for parents, babies, and families.
AAPIC is grateful to First 5 Sonoma County for centering Pasifika communities and for their commitment to listening, learning, and action.
