Maternal Mental Health Community Discussions at UMD

The State of Minnesota recently released the Minnesota Maternal Mortality Report, which found that the number one cause of death in the period of pregnancy, birth and postpartum was mental health.

The University of Minnesota Duluth is assembling a community conversation around postpartum mental health in September. We are calling it an “interprofessional dialogue,” because we want to bring all sorts of people together — from medical professionals to early childhood educators to doulas and more.

It’s the “and more” that I want to call for here. If this is a topic of interest to you, and you’d like to learn more about how to participate in the event, please reach out to me or comment below. The event will also result in a community resource guide — if you have resources you’d like to see added to the guide, also, reach out below.
