Helping Mothers and Families

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) says mental health conditions, including depression and anxiety, are among the most common complications of pregnancy, affecting an estimated one in five individuals annually in the United States. Postpartum care attendance rates in the U.S. are around 72%, and even lower among the most vulnerable populations, according to a National Library of Medicine article.
