Haitian Immigrant Resource Packet
In 2023 during a case review team meeting, it was noted that the Fetal Infant Mortality Review (FIMR) team in Marion County, Indiana was seeing an increase in cases involving Haitian immigrant families. A work group was formed to respond to the needs we were seeing for these families and to collaborate across the community. This packet of resources was created to help families from the Haitian community as well as providers working with these families. While this packet focuses specifically on Haitian immigrants, the programs and resources included are available to anyone living in Marion County.
