Bill > HR3312

This bill, the Moms Matter Act, aims to address maternal mental health conditions and substance use disorders, with a focus on demographic groups with elevated rates of maternal mortality, severe maternal morbidity, maternal health disparities, or other adverse perinatal or childbirth outcomes. The key provisions include establishing a grant program for eligible entities to improve the integration of maternal mental and behavioral health care services into primary care settings, expand group prenatal and postpartum care programs, provide services and support for pregnant and postpartum individuals with mental health conditions and substance use disorders, and train maternity care providers on identifying and referring individuals with potential warning signs. The bill also authorizes grants to grow and diversify the maternal mental and behavioral health care workforce, with a focus on recruiting and retaining students from racial and ethnic minority groups and other underserved populations.
