Black mothers and babies continue to face stark inequities in maternal and infant health outcomes in the U.S. It’s time to raise awareness, support evidence‑based interventions, and work toward systems that ensure healthy pregnancies and postpartum care for all.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month 💙
Supporting parent’s mental health and well-being is a critical part of prevention. When caregivers are supported, children are safer and stronger.

This Black History Month, we honor the resilience and leadership of Black parents, and we raise awareness of Black maternal mental health.

Black women in the U.S. are more than 3 times as likely to die from pregnancy-related causes as white women. Beyond mortality, disparities extend into mental health, with black women being nearly twice as likely to experience maternal mental health conditions, yet significantly less likely to receive treatment.

This month and every month, we support Black maternal voices and advocate for equitable care before, during, and long after birth.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.
1 in 4 women experience pregnancy or infant loss. If you are going through this, or supporting someone who is- you are not alone.

If someone in your life is grieving, here are a few ways to support them:

• Help with everyday tasks (meals, errands, childcare)
• Sit with them and listen
• If they are open to it, help them find a support group or professional resources.

Know your body, get screened, and encourage others to do the same. Early detection saves lives, and awareness is the first step.
