Who We Are

The National Coalition formed in 2014 to address the critical public health crisis impacting women and families in the U.S. We realized the systemic inefficiencies and barriers to care for women around maternal mental health complications and illnesses would require all of us coming together to solve the problem.

Members

Maternal mental health disorders like depression and anxiety impact 15-20% of women during pregnancy and the postpartum period.  That's 1 in 7 pregnancies and a lot of moms and families who have suffered and are suffering now.

Take Action

Our advocacy made a difference!  In December, both the House and Senate passed H.R. 3235/S.2311 "Bringing Postpartum Depression Out of the Shadows Act of 2015"!  This bill was included in the 21st Century Cures Act.
