2023 Maternal Mental Health FORUM

#MMHFORUM #MaternalMentalHealth

Thought leaders from around the country joined us for the 13th annual Maternal Mental Health FORUM.

The FORUM was all-virtual again this year with a focus on investing in systems change and families to reap rewards. The FORUM included mainstage and breakout sessions, and small group regional and topic networking sessions.

Though it was open to all change agents, this year, the FORUM was designed for leaders from the following primary audiences, who are positioned to lead systems change:

• Payors (Health Insurers, Medicaid Agencies, Employers)
• Policymakers (Legislative and Agencies in state and federal government)
• Providers (Obstetric clinics, hospitals, and health systems) 
• Partners (Philanthropy, Nonprofit Organizations, Community-Based Organizations, and Researchers)

Hear from Attendees

“As a philanthropic professional at an organization exploring what we might do in the maternal mental health space, this convening was INCREDIBLY INSIGHTFUL! I appreciate the intersectional approach to the content and the diversity of perspectives/roles represented. Beyond the content, I was consistently impressed by the production/logistics of the event. Well done all around!”
— Philanthropic Partner

“Many FORUM discussants mentioned a lack of integration between services, and this FORUM was a prime example of integration! Information from many programs, professional groups, and initiatives were shared, so that all the disparate information came together.”
— Nonprofit Partner

“It was clear that the time is now to make a change in integrating mental health screening, education, referral, and the availability of tangible resources.  We are on the heels of heightening the awareness of maternal mental health and we must all work hard to push for education, screening, and reliable resources for mothers, fathers and families impacted.”
— Payor

“Loved the exposure to agencies and organizations throughout the country, that are successfully implementing and providing innovative and tried and true services to individuals and families during the perinatal period – especially for those focused on screening and treating. Also enjoyed the different perspectives and practices from a wide range of stakeholders – nonprofit, for profit, public health, policymakers, etc.”
— Policymaker/Public Agency
