Black maternal mental health continues to have impact on the overall wellness of Black communities. Black women and birthing individuals experience perinatal mental health disorders at a rate of 40% (MMHLA, 2023; Taylor & Gamble, 2017) and have a greater risk of mortality during and after childbirth. Specifically, in the state of Ohio, Black maternal and infant mortality rate are significantly higher than non-black populations (ODH, 2021). The session will focus on strategies to uplift Black mothers and birthing individuals in the treatment of black maternal mental health issues.
