Access to maternal mental health care is often limited by logistical, financial, and geographical barriers. Studies show that up to 20% of pregnant and postpartum women experience anxiety or depression. Yet, traditional care models struggle to meet these needs due to fragmented services and poor coordination among providers.

Maternal mental health disorders, such as postpartum depression and anxiety, affect women across all communities, yet cultural barriers often prevent timely diagnosis and care, especially in minority populations. For clinicians, recognizing and addressing these cultural obstacles is essential to providing equitable care. By breaking through these barriers, we can ensure that every mother receives the support she needs, improving outcomes for both mother and child and advancing comprehensive maternal care.

Maternal mental health disparities disproportionately affect moms of color, who face higher rates of anxiety, depression, and trauma. While Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is proven to address these challenges, traditional methods often lack accessibility and consistency.
