The LAMB Survey reveals alarming statistics on the intersection of perinatal mental health, discrimination and race. 31% percent of Latinx and 30% of Black mothers reported feeling sad, empty or depressed during their pregnancy, compared to 14% of White and API mothers. When asked if they had ever experienced discrimination because of color during their pregnancy, 45% of Black mothers, 29% of API and 19% of Latinx mothers reported affirmative, compared to 9% of White mothers.

We partner with 211 LA County’s Developmental Screening Initiative to screen parents with young children who may have developmental delays for depression and anxiety. We launch a first of its kind pilot project with USC-Eisner Family Medicine to implement an IMPACT model in which perinatal mental health screening and intervention is embedded in primary obstetric and pediatric visits. We develop a basic training curriculum on perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) and deliver 12 trainings to healthcare providers and organizations including 211 LA County, Esperanza House for Promotoras, Didi Hirsch Mental Health Center, LA Child Guidance and Interagency Councils on Child Abuse and Neglect.
