Episode Details

Massachusetts is launching a bold new push to save moms’ lives by dramatically expanding postpartum mental health care — with $2 million for free nurse home visits and $250K for child psychiatry support, all aimed at catching crises early. Driven by alarming data showing nearly 40% of maternal deaths from 2019-2024 were tied to mental illness, the state’s efforts are gaining urgency after high-profile cases like Lindsay Clancy’s, whose defense cited postpartum psychosis. This comes on the heels of last year’s law boosting doulas, midwives, and insurance coverage for screenings — a multi-pronged strategy to finally turn the tide on preventable tragedies.
