Policy Center for Maternal Mental Health

Mission

Maternal Mental Health disorders, which are the most common complication of pregnancy, impact, on average, up to 1 in 5 of the expecting and postpartum mothers in the U.S., mothers of color suffer at higher rates.

Though awareness of these disorders has increased substantially, screening, diagnosis, and treatment is still not standardized and routine across the U.S. health delivery system.

Our mission is to close gaps in maternal mental health care.
