The Moms Matter Act would create two federal grant programs addressing mental health and substance use during and after pregnancy. The first would fund hospitals, clinics, community organizations, tribal organizations, and local health departments to expand services, train providers, reduce stigma, and connect mothers to treatment. The second would help schools and training programs increase the number of mental health providers who specialize in maternal care.
Pregnant women and new mothers are the primary population affected, especially those in communities with high maternal death rates or poor birth outcomes. Healthcare workers, training programs, and community organizations serving these women could also be affected as potential grant applicants.
Grants would be directed first toward organizations in areas already experiencing the highest maternal death rates and health disparities. The bill does not guarantee funding, as Congress would still need to approve actual spending each year.
