Stay at the Forefront of Innovation

The FORUM provides critical updates on new developments that shape the future of maternal health, mental health, and healthcare policy. 

The 2027 Maternal Mental Health FORUM: Moving Upstream & Expanding Care Teams brings together healthcare leaders, policymakers, clinicians, researchers, advocates, and payers to explore the innovations reshaping maternal mental health care.

This year’s theme focuses on streamlining systems, policies, and care delivery to strengthen outcomes for mothers and families. Sessions will examine emerging opportunities to transform maternity care, including what unbundling maternity care payment codes could mean for the field, as well as strategies for integrating behavioral health into obstetric care, advancing sustainable payment models, improving care coordination, and scaling evidence-based solutions that make maternal mental health care more accessible, equitable, and effective.

Hear from past 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.”

The 2026 Maternal Mental Health (MMH) FORUM was an extraordinary success, bringing together cross-sector change agents who drove meaningful progress in maternal mental health.

Policymakers, payors, provider leaders, and our partners came together to discuss achievements, challenges, and actionable solutions for closing gaps in maternal mental health care.

The FORUM agenda highlighted how federal policy and funding shifts have transformed access to detection and care, and showcased how states, philanthropy, and non-profits nationwide responded with innovative strategies and impactful initiatives.
