California was named the nation’s leading state for maternal mental health support in a recent report by the Policy Center for Maternal Mental Health.
@CAgovernor and First Partner @JenSiebelNewsom underscore CA's commitment to supporting maternal mental health across the state.
ALT “California has led the nation in recognizing that supporting mothers’ mental health is essential to building healthier families and stronger communities. Pregnancy and the months that follow can be some of the most important and challenging moments in a family’s life. We want every mother to know she’s supported, cared for, and connected to the resources she needs – for her own well-being and for the healthy start every baby deserves.”
Governor Gavin Newsom
ALT “Sometimes the hardest part of becoming a parent is how isolating and overwhelming it can feel. While there is still work to do to reach even more mothers, we are proud of the Golden State for showing what’s possible when we treat maternal mental health as a priority – leading with care and compassion to uplift an issue that is deeply urgent and preventable.”
First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom
