Creates new grant programs to improve mental health and substance use care for pregnant and new mothers.
This bill would create two new federal grant programs to support pregnant and new mothers. One program would help community groups and healthcare providers offer better mental health and substance use support, especially for those facing higher risks. The other program would help train more healthcare workers who specialize in maternal mental health, aiming to increase diversity and serve areas with fewer providers.
Today, there are no specific federal grant programs under this Act focused on maternal mental health conditions and substance use disorders or on growing this specialized healthcare workforce. If this bill becomes law, it would create two new federal grant programs. One would set aside $25 million annually for five years to directly fund services for pregnant and new mothers, and the other would set aside $15 million annually for five years to train more maternal mental health professionals.
