Virginia Health Care Foundation Launches New Statewide Maternal Mental Health Initiative
Maternal Mental Health Takes a Village
1 in 8 Virginia mothers experience maternal mental health conditions, yet nearly one-third of our counties are maternal health deserts with limited access to care. Without treatment, these conditions can lead to poor health outcomes and even maternal death.
Virginia Health Care Foundation (VHCF) officially launched It Takes a Village (ITAV) – a new statewide maternal mental health program offering low- or no-cost counseling to pregnant and postpartum Virginians.
What ITAV Offers:
Free or low-cost counseling for pregnant and postpartum women
In-person and telehealth options for maximum accessibility
Services in English and Spanish
No referral required
Statewide network of community-based and healthcare safety net partners
ITAV connects mothers directly to qualified behavioral health therapists through trusted community organizations across Virginia.
VHCF’s It Takes A Village grantees provide mental health therapy for pregnant and postpartum Virginians – with a focus on those living in Maternal Health Deserts.
Please register for one of the It Takes A Village Overview and Referral Sessions to learn more. We want to be sure any pregnant or postpartum Virginian needing mental health services gets connected to help.
