Hosted by the NYS Office of Mental Health and Behavioral Health News, this first roundtable will provide attendees with a focused learning experience on perinatal mental health. Participants will gain a foundational understanding of common perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), including prevalence rates and real-world examples illustrating their impact. The session will also examine various forms of mental health stigma—such as public, self, and structural stigma—as they relate to maternal mental health, with concrete examples from clinical and community settings. Finally, attendees will leave equipped with practical strategies for reducing stigma in maternal mental health environments and improving access to care and support services for birthing persons.
