The Mind Over Mood Initiative addresses maternal mental health within early childhood Home Visitation in multiple ways. One key component is the development of partnerships with independent practice therapists statewide. Mind over Mood is building a community of specialized perinatal mental health and attachment psychotherapists to attend to the unmet clinical needs of marginalized mothers who may be affected by trauma, socioeconomic stress, racial oppression, and low social support. Since 2015, they have cultivated collaborations with over 130 private practice and small group practices across the state.
