The Moms Matter Act aims to comprehensively address maternal mental health conditions and substance use disorders through two primary grant programs. The first program, the Maternal Mental Health Equity Grant Program, authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to eligible entities. These grants are specifically designed to support initiatives that improve maternal mental and behavioral health, with a particular focus on demographic groups experiencing elevated rates of maternal mortality, severe maternal morbidity, and health disparities . Funds from these grants can be used for various purposes, including establishing or expanding maternity care programs that integrate mental health services into primary care, developing group prenatal and postpartum care, and providing direct services and support for pregnant and postpartum individuals. The program also supports efforts to address stigma, raise awareness of warning signs, prevent suicide, and educate maternity care providers on identifying and referring individuals with mental health or substance use disorders. Priority is given to community-based organizations operating in high-need areas, including Health Professional Shortage Areas. The second key component of the bill establishes grants to grow and diversify the maternal mental and behavioral health care workforce. These grants will help establish new educational programs or expand existing ones that train mental and behavioral health care providers specializing in maternal mental health conditions and substance use disorders. Grant recipients are encouraged to recruit and retain students from racial and ethnic minority groups and other underserved populations , and to prepare them to practice in areas with significant maternal health disparities or workforce shortages. Both grant programs include reporting requirements to ensure accountability and evaluate effectiveness. The Maternal Mental Health Equity Grant Program is authorized for $25,000,000 annually for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, while the workforce development grants are authorized for $15,000,000 annually for the same period.
