Technical Assistance 

About Technical Assistance

Perinatal mental health conditions impact 1 in 5 individuals during pregnancy and postpartum, yet 75% of those who screen at risk never receive treatment. Many organizations, whether in healthcare, social services, or workplaces, struggle to implement comprehensive, patient-centered approaches to perinatal mental health care.

​

By partnering with Moms Mental Health Initiative (MMHI) for Technical Assistance, your organization can:

  • Enhance care coordination and referral pathways

  • Improve patient-centered approaches to assessment and follow-up

  • Reduce siloed systems and build stronger collaborations

  • Expand access to peer support and wraparound services

  • Increase the use of effective treatments while reducing crisis-driven interventions

MMHI provides expert guidance, training, and strategic support to ensure that organizations can deliver high-quality, compassionate, and accessible care for perinatal individuals experiencing mental health challenges.
