The study aimed to map a community-based health communication model as a mitigation effort to reduce the risk of maternal mortality in Indonesia using a social support theory. To achieve the objective, a case study method was adopted, and data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, focus group discussions, and document review. The results showed that community-based health communication through the Alert Church and Village programs effectively mitigated the risk of maternal mortality in the South Central Timor Regency. This method includes the active participation of the community in monitoring the health of pregnant women within the village
