-: So my name is KaZonte Allen.
I am a Master's level social worker.
Right now I'm employed as a Perinatal Social Worker
through Mercy Health Partners.
So some of the job duties of a perinatal social worker
are to work with individuals, primarily pregnant women
and their families, with linking them to essential
community resources that are made available for them
throughout the community.
It also entails working with pregnant women
to educate and disseminate vital health information
as it relates to maternal mortality,
infant mortality, et cetera.
