WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program

 


The WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program is a free program offered through the Lake Cumberland District Health Department, that provides one on one support to pregnant and breastfeeding WIC mothers.  A peer counselor will contact you during your pregnancy and assist you with any questions, concerns, or support you may have with breastfeeding.  This is done through mailings, phone calls, and periodic visits.  After delivery, the peer counselor will continue to provide support throughout your breastfeeding experience. 


The Lake Cumberland District Health Department Peer Counselors include:


Casey County - Kasey Dehart
Russell County - Bethany Williams
Pulaski County - Natasha Hess
