Boston College Law Panel Urges Reform of Maternal Mental Healthcare
Original: “Who Cares for Mom?”: BC Law Panel Calls for Systemic Change in Maternal Mental Healthcare
A panel at Boston College Law School examined gaps in maternal mental healthcare, arguing that mothers facing postpartum depression and related conditions are failed by fragmented and underfunded support systems. Speakers called for systemic change, including better screening, legal protections, and coordination between healthcare and social services. The event has drawn attention to how rarely maternal mental health is treated as a policy priority.
Why now: The panel's call for systemic reform highlights growing public concern over untreated postpartum mental illness in mothers.
