LLLI Peer Counselor Program

The purpose of the LLLI Peer Counselor program is to develop support systems within targeted communities that will provide ongoing access to breastfeeding information and support by training those interested in learning more about breastfeeding promotion, management, support and techniques to help mothers breastfeed. These courses offer ideal instruction for those who wish to support, protect and promote breastfeeding such as nurses, midwives, dietitians, childbirth educators, doulas, social workers, teachers, corporate human services personnel, health-care service office personnel, mothers, grandparents and breastfeeding peer counselors. If you have come here looking for information on becoming a lactation consultant, please see our FAQ on LCs.
