MIAMI , Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mammha, The solution provider for perinatal mental health care, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with March of Dimes, a leading nonprofit organization committed to improving the health of moms and babies. Perinatal mental health conditions are alarmingly common, affecting 1 in 5 women in the general population and as many as 1 in 3 women in high-risk populations including immigrants, marginalized groups, women of color, and those who live in poverty or have a baby in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Untreated PMH conditions can have long-term negative effects on mother, baby, family, and society, and their cost is estimated at $14 billion each year. PMH is a significant concern, with many parents experiencing anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges during this crucial time. Mammha provides a comprehensive and robust platform that offers screening, referrals, support, and educational tools for pregnant and postpartum women who may be experiencing maternal mental health complications like depression and anxiety.
This collaboration aims to enhance access to vital mental health resources for expecting and new parents, addressing a critical need for support during the perinatal period. Through this partnership, Mammha and March of Dimes will leverage their combined expertise to offer innovative, evidence-based mental health services tailored to the unique challenges faced by parents during pregnancy and the postpa.
