E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Moms 

Enhancing Maternal Mental Health by Building Resources and Access to Community and Education

A program designed to help healthcare organizations improve maternal health outcomes, meet key health equity objectives, and control the cost of postpartum mental illness by empowering and supporting women in maintaining their mental health during pregnancy and early motherhood. 

An evidence-based, scalable, fully-online PMADs prevention and early intervention program.

 
EMBRACE Moms is an innovative program designed to help healthcare organizations address the biggest gaps in maternal mental healthcare and reduce the cost of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs).
 
EMBRACE Moms consists of two core program components: the prevention course, and the early intervention process. The innovative, virtual coaching-based design ensures that the program reduces traditional barriers to preventative care and scales to serve as many moms as needed. Flexibility, user-friendly platforms, and engaging support help participants get the most out of the prevention course. And a streamlined screening and treatment referral process ensures that those moms who need clinical care get it earlier and faster.
