State Resources and Policy

State Policy

Much of the work addressing maternal mental health has been done at the state level,
with states creating task forces, passing legislation that requires educating healthcare providers and/or screening new parents,
and raising awareness through proclamations, resolutions, and public awareness campaigns.

MMHLA is committed to advocating for improved maternal mental health care at the federal level

and to provide advice, guidance, and assistance to those at the state and local levels.
