This two-part webinar series was developed and conducted in partnership with the National Center for Health in Public Housing (NCHPH), and the National Nurse-Led Care Consortium (NNCC), aimed at addressing the critical postpartum gap in care and maternal mental health. There is a focus on equipping healthcare professionals with the tools and knowledge needed to support maternal mental health, breastfeeding and improve outcomes for maternal and child health, particularly in communities of color. By attending this series, healthcare professionals were equipped to play a pivotal role in bridging the gap in postpartum care and promoting maternal mental health equity in their communities.

Participants gained actionable insights into leveraging telehealth technologies to support evidence-based care and improve mothers’ and infants’ outcomes.
