Strengthening Maternal Mental Health in Rural Communities
Join us on March 6th, from 2:00 – 3:15 pm ET/ 11:00 am – 12:15 pm PT to explore how maternal mental health is showing up across rural communities, how states are engaging in this new initiative, and where philanthropic strategies can play a meaningful role to advance maternal mental health in rural communities.
The conversation will draw on perspectives from national rural health infrastructure, community-based organizations, and physician-led public health work across rural regions of the country. Speakers will reflect on persistent gaps and promising approaches, and highlight strategies funders can support to strengthen rural delivery systems and promote more accessible, culturally responsive care for mothers and families. The session will conclude with time for funder discussion and questions.
The Future of Rural Health and Well-Being: Findings from a Landscape Analysis and Listening Sessions
Grantmakers In Health (GIH) and the National Rural Health Association (NRHA), with support from the Georgia Health Policy Center(GHPC), are leading an initiative to reimagine rural health and well-being by aligning systems and resources to achieve optimal health for all individuals living in rural America. As part of this effort, the Georgia Health Policy Center conducted a landscape analysis highlighting a sampling of a cross-section of organizations and leaders in rural health and hosted two national listening sessions of key stakeholders.
