Boosting Maternal Mental Health: Insights from Our Team & Ohio COE
We’re incredibly proud to highlight the impactful work of the Ashtabula County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board! Christy Fisher was recently featured on the Ohio Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health’s podcast, “Driving Maternal Mental Health Support Through Healthcare Partnerships – Season 3, Episode 5.”
In this podcast episode, host Dr. Holly Raffle speaks with Toni Ashton, Prevention and Community Manager at the Fairfield County ADAMH Board, and our own Christy Fisher, Director of Prevention and Community Engagement at the Ashtabula County Mental Health & Recovery Services Board, who discuss the critical importance of maternal mental health awareness. The episode explores practical strategies for promoting the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline and discusses opportunities for prevention professionals to expand support for new and expectant parents.
We encourage you to listen to this insightful episode to learn more about the efforts underway to strengthen maternal mental health support in our communities.
