Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

 

Maternal depression affects millions of families in communities nationwide. As a response to this urgent public health problem, Mental Health America developed an action guide for communities, Maternal Depression—Making a Difference Through Community Action: A Planning Guide.

The Guide aims to:

  • Build awareness and acceptance of the need for a family-focused, community-driven approach
  • Strengthen the capacity of communities to mobilize around a significant public health issue
  • Promote the use of state, local and even neighborhood partners
  • Spur strategic thinking that leads to effective community action and change
