Maternal mental health disorders affect up to one in five women during pregnancy and the postpartum period and are associated with significant consequences for mothers, infants, and families. Despite growing awareness and evidence-based screening recommendations, substantial gaps remain in screening, treatment access, workforce capacity, quality measurement, and reimbursement. This session will provide a national overview of the maternal mental health landscape, including current prevalence, clinical recommendations, quality measures, insurance coverage trends, and emerging federal and state policy initiatives. Participants will learn about barriers facing providers and patients, recent progress in expanding screening and treatment resources, and opportunities to improve outcomes through policy, payment reform, and quality improvement efforts. The session will also highlight state-level innovations and national strategies aimed at strengthening maternal mental health systems of care.
