Last month, the federal budget bill funding a Maternal Mental Health interagency Task Force was signed. Bright Beginnings’ would like to thank Congressman Jimmy Panetta (CA-20) for signing on to the “Dear Colleague Letter” requesting budget appropriations for a Maternal Mental Health interagency Task Force and Report. The Task Force will detail the roles each organization can take to address maternal mental health in a report issued to Congress in June 2020.
