Have you heard of the Pennsylvania MOMNIBUS? If not, you need to.

The PA Black Maternal Health Caucus spearheaded by state Reps. Morgan Cephas, Gina H. Curry, and La’Tasha D. Mayes of Allegheny County is fighting to pass a package of legislation designed to address the Black maternal mortality and morbidity crisis right here in our Commonwealth.

The Pennsylvania MOMNIBUS takes aim at the systemic, intersectional failures that put Black mothers at risk from healthcare access to implicit bias to economic inequity.

What you can do to support:
Follow the PA Black Maternal Health Caucus for updates

Our 20th Annual Education Symposium — Maternal and Child Health Across the Life Course: How Stories Become Care, Practice, and Policy; brought together healthcare providers, researchers, advocates, community members, and families at the University of Pittsburgh campus for a day that reminded us exactly why this work matters.

We are grateful for every person who showed up, every voice that filled that room, and every story that was shared. We want to express our deep gratitude to our keynote speaker Dr. Russell J. Ledet , our presenting partners, Embrace Center of Excellence, University of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County Home Visiting Network, and Allegheny County Health Department, and to our sponsors whose support made this day possible.

When the men in our families are physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy the whole family benefits. That’s not opinion. That’s data!

Research shows that when fathers are actively involved and healthy, mothers receive better prenatal care, babies have stronger outcomes, and families build more resilient futures.

This June, we’re celebrating the men who show up and the programs at Healthy Start Pittsburgh designed to support them.

As we close out Maternal Mental Health Month, we are leaving you with these words from Ta’lor Pinkston, our Clinical Practice Program Manager.

1 in 3 moms experiences some form of depression in their lifetime. You are not alone.

“Talk to your support systems. Ask for help. Accept help when offered. Know how valuable you are to get the help that you not just need but deserve.”

Doulas, family coaches, home visitors, and organizations like Healthy Start Pittsburgh exist for exactly this; to provide the support, education, and community that every mom deserves.

Mental Health Month may be ending. Our commitment to you never does.

Meet Ta'lor Pinkston — licensed clinical social worker, Clinical Practice Program Manager at Healthy Start Pittsburgh, and a mom who turned her personal journey into purpose. 💚

Ta'lor's path to this work began with her own experience of prenatal depression and generalized anxiety. That journey became the foundation of why she now manages our Moving Beyond Depression program — a free, CBT-based program supporting moms experiencing prenatal and postpartum depression.

"It's very full circle for me. It allows me to take my personal experience and support moms in their mental health and well-being and teach them to advocate for themselves."

One thing she wants you to know: postpartum depression doesn't only impact mothers. Co-parents experience it too, and when we make maternal mental health conversations gender specific, we miss the whole family.

At Healthy Start Pittsburgh, we see the whole family. And we have free support waiting for you.
