In 2023, the organization\u2019s powerful short film on period poverty was accepted into the APHA Short Film Festival, capturing the emotional and social realities of period poverty through a Caribbean lens. Two years later, Scrub Life Cares returns with data-driven, community-rooted research, reaffirming its dual commitment to storytelling and evidence-based advocacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the APHA 2025 conference, she will continue on to the&nbsp;<strong>13th World Congress on Adolescent Health<\/strong>, hosted by the&nbsp;<strong>International Association for Adolescent Health (IAAH)<\/strong>, now being held virtually due to the national disaster declaration in Jamaica following the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Melissa.<\/p><div id=\"antig-1527998298\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"500X500 (1)\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Caribbean continues to grapple with the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the families who have lost loved ones.

Additionally, we highlight the importance of maternal health and child health. Now more than ever, communities must support new and expecting mothers and breast-feeding moms. As our Caribbean sisters and brothers rebuild their homes and hearts, we remain committed to ensuring access to essential health and wellness resources, from maternal care to menstrual supplies and mental health support.<\/p><div id=\"antig-1989159790\" class=\"antig-content_3 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiguabarbudaculinarymonth.com\/\" aria-label=\"CM key_WEB 1300x300_1\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1301\/h:301\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1301\/h:301\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 1301w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:69\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:237\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:178\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1301\" height=\"301\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Scrub Life Cares continues to champion evidence-based programming and community empowerment through its signature initiatives.

The organization has gained growing visibility in the United States, particularly in South Carolina, where Ambrose earned her Master of Public Health degree with a concentration in Health Services Policy and Management and a Certificate in Maternal and Child Health. Her leadership bridges Caribbean community work with global public health dialogue, combining research, advocacy, and storytelling to create systems that center the voices of women and girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeing able to take research conducted at home in Antigua in collaboration with partners like Aritex Biotech and present it internationally is a full-circle moment,\u201d Ambrose reflected. \u201cIt\u2019s a testament to what can happen when community-driven work meets global recognition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scrub Life Cares extends sincere gratitude to the study participants and the dedicated research team whose collaboration made this project possible, including&nbsp;<strong>Mrs. Billie Sterling-Lewis, Miss Chloe Ambrose, Miss Shushanna Ambrose, Miss Claire Donahue, Miss Shavani Stewart, Miss Britney McDonald, Miss Tia Philip, Miss Kayla Joy Richards, Miss Janet Simon, Miss Villacy Clendenen, Mr. Karil Knight, Miss Kirah Gregory, and Ms. Lyneth Freelan, the Cana Moravian Church&nbsp;<\/strong>who hosted the qualitative research session. Their insights and commitment continue to shape this work\u2019s authenticity and impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis research belongs to the community,\u201d Ambrose concluded during her APHA remarks. \u201cIt belongs to a future where no woman or girl is left behind because of her period. Menstrual health is not a privilege; it is a human right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proudly marking its 5th anniversary in November 2025,&nbsp;<strong>Scrub Life Cares<\/strong>&nbsp;increases dialogue on public health, access to menstrual health resources and comprehensive reproductive and sexual health education across Antigua and Barbuda and the Caribbean.
