2017 Innovation Awards
The Maternal Mental Health Innovation Awards Program
2020 Mom and the Perinatal Mental Health Society (PNMHS), with the generous support of Denver’s Zoma Foundation, announce the Maternal Mental Health Innovation Awards.
These competitive awards will be presented annually to impactful programs that deserve recognition for leadership in supporting maternal mental health. It is time we share what works in addressing maternal mental health disorders, which impact up to one-in-five women during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
The award program seeks exemplary programs that should be lifted up as proven models for broader adoption across the country.
Innovative Awards Program goals:
- To recognize those who are supporting maternal mental health through innovative initiatives.
- To facilitate sharing innovative models in order to scale and promote change in a rapid and effective manner nationally.
