Mental Health Council of the Big Bend White Paper

Jan 30, 2018

The Mental Health Council of the Big Bend was originally founded to provide a forum for mental health providers, scholars, advocates, local experts, and other stakeholders to assess the state of mental and behavioral health and services in the Big Bend region, and to develop a strategy for improved access and outcomes. The information in this report represents the state of mental health in the region based on numerous, converging sources of information gathered through 2018, and serves as a springboard for ongoing assessment, attention and recommendations related to mental health in the coming years.

Maternal Mental Health Updates

Nov 17, 2017

 Major local and statewide efforts are underway to improve the integration of mental health care for women around the time of pregnancy in the areas of education/ training; research; clinical and service delivery, as well as health policy. The Leon County Maternal Mental Health Coalition, led by the Maternal Mental Health Community Advisory Board has achieved a number of goals in this arena over the past year including the formation of a Tallahassee chapter of Postpartum Support International (PSI), as well as a mental health referral and resource list for the community. See the full list of updates from the Maternal Mental Health Community Advisory Board. We have also established a Statewide Maternal Mental Health Coalition that aims to improve coordination and synergy across the state to better address perinatal mental health.
