Maternal mental health is essential to the well-being of birthing people, their children, and families, yet too often it remains overlooked in health care systems. Join ITUP for a critical discussion on the urgent need to prioritize maternal mental health in California and beyond.

This virtual event will highlight promising policy innovations, community-led approaches, and systems-level strategies to address maternal mental health disparities, particularly in historically marginalized communities. Leaders in public health, behavioral health, and maternal advocacy will share insights, real-world experiences, and policy opportunities for building a more equitable and supportive maternal mental health system.
