Plan For Better Access to MMH

​Access to quality maternal mental health services is about more than just availability—it’s about planning, affordability, understanding, compassion, and confidence that when the proper support systems are put into place, families thrive, and communities grow stronger.

As promised in our FOZA Podcast Ep1 48 - Here is a downloadable outline to build a plan for better access. It's not an overnight call-to-action; however, it has been reported that 1 in 5 mothers experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder or episode. Last year, more than 3 million births in the US meant more than 150K mothers faced challenges postpartum, but regrettably, more than half didn’t receive the care they needed.

Creating and following a plan means decreasing the devastating numbers of loss and increasing the reality of moms getting the services they need and deserve. Download the outline today. Use it for yourself or share it with someone who can use it.
