Episode 123: Firefighter Reproductive Health with the Beltane Guild

The Beltane Guild is a 501c3 non-profit focused on reproductive health and policy implementation for firefighters. I spoke with founder Maia Brown and board members Melissa Lawlor and Dr. Brittany Hollerbach during this week's episode. Time and time again, a firefighter gets pregnant, and it’s only then that a department realizes its pregnancy policy is dangerously outdated, possibly even unlawful. The Beltane Guild can help your department adopt a comprehensive policy that will not only keep your firefighters safe but will also guide how to navigate the following reproductive health topics: ·       infertility ·       pregnancy ·       miscarriage  ·       lactation ·       adoption  ·       reproductive health educationCheck out the bios for Maia Brown, Melissa Lawlor, and Brittany Hollerbach So what, now what?!?Firefighters experience fertility challenges at a rate higher than the civilian population. They also have an increased risk of miscarriage, early birth, and infant health issues. Further, if your department doesn't have policies in place now, now is the time to get those written.
