We were glad to honor #stillbirth affected families yesterday at a panel hosted by the Vice President to celebrate the passage of the Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act. It will support these families and prevent future stillbirths by making needed policy reforms.

Bringing a child into the world is both beautiful and life changing. Amidst the joy of becoming a parent, many also experience challenges with mental health in the postpartum period. Mental health can be a particularly vulnerable time in the postpartum period due to hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, physical recovery from childbirth, and the challenges adjusting to parenthood. Supporting mental health during this time period is essential for both parents and babies. Postpartum doulas are trained professionals who provide physical, emotional, and informational support to families during the postpartum period. One of their primary focuses is to support maternal mental health, which can include: 💜Active listening and emotional support. 📚Education and guidance. ☎️Resource referral and coordination. Learn more about how postpartum doulas can provide mental health support: https://lnkd.in/gBzx8ssg #MinorityMentalHealthAwareness #MinorityMentalHealthAwarenessMonth #doula #pospartumdoula

Today, we celebrate the establishment of the United States of America, as well as both the federal and state-led progress in the fight for the health of all American families. This week 20 years ago, California implemented the first paid family and medical leave in the nation. We look forward to continuing our support to expand this important benefit beyond the 14 states and Washington D.C. that currently offer it.
