Maternal Mental Health Leadership Alliance (MMHLA)

We've updated our Military, Veteran Women, and Maternal Mental Health Fact Sheet! We recognized the need to bring a more in-depth racial and health equity lens to this Fact Sheet, taking into account the experiences and additional disparities that women of color face in the military. We are proud to publish an updated Fact Sheet that includes this important information. 🔗https://hubs.la/Q02GdXms0

This is why we are advocating for The MOMS Act — a policy that would help improve the mental health of military moms. The military culture and lifestyle create additional challenges that make parenting very challenging. Our service members deserve more support to manage this. Thank you, Patience Riley, for sharing your experience with all of us. Comment below to thank Patience for sharing!
