Each organization will implement short-term projects, initiatives, or events aimed at improving mental health education, increasing access to care, and addressing social determinants of health for birthing people and families in Healthy Start service areas.
“Too many families are navigating pregnancy and postpartum without the support they need,” said Jada Shirriel, CEO of Healthy Start, Inc. Pittsburgh. “We’re investing in organizations that are already trusted in their communities and making sure that support is accessible, not out of reach.”
This funding opportunity is part of a broader collaboration among federal Healthy Start grantees working to improve perinatal mental health outcomes across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Projects will be implemented over a three-month period, with a focus on reaching communities experiencing disparities in birth outcomes and access to mental health care.
