“This event puts maternal mental health in the spotlight, and offers some solutions, like why paid parental leave is critical,” says Tracy Russell, Executive Director of Nurture KC. “A mother’s mental health can be as important as her physical health, and it shapes the environment in which her children learn, grow and thrive. We need to have these conversations about how to make resources available to our underserved, new moms who need it most.”
