| On Thursday, November 14, HRSA announced a new nationwide campaign to raise public awareness of the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline (1-833-TLC-MAMA). The National Maternal Health Hotline is a cornerstone of the Biden-Harris Administrationâs broader efforts to improve maternal health and supports HRSAâs ongoing initiative to reduce maternal mortality and health disparities. As part of the campaign, HHS will collaborate with companies and organizations such as retailers, grocers, pharmacies, and health and community associations to publicize mental health resources for moms and pregnant women in everyday locations. The first six Maternal Mental Health Champions announced today have thousands of locations and a broad presence in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. HRSA Deputy Administrator Jordan Grossman announced this campaign in conjunction with HRSAâs latest state Enhancing Maternal Health Initiative convening in Portland, Oregon.
