WHO WE ARE
The Ohio Perinatal Mental Health Task force is a collaborative of individuals and organizations committed to advancing policies and initiatives that continuously improve perinatal mental health access-to-care and treatment.
OUR GOAL
Our goal is for Ohio to be one of the leading states in the country in perinatal mental health education and access-to-care and treatment.
Our Collective Values
EQUITY AND INCLUSIVITY
We ensure that equity is at the center of all of our strategies and that decision-making occurs through an antiracist, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed lens.
We recognize that sustainable change happens when the people affected are involved in decision-making, and we commit to ensuring those voices are part of each strategy.
We promote and use language that recognizes all people that become pregnant, give birth, and/or experience the postpartum period, including those who have experienced a loss or those who have adopted children.
COMMUNITY
We protect the confidentiality of each member in our shared spaces.
We welcome and value all member perspectives, and, in doing so, create a collaborative environment free of harm.
We foster spaces where all perspectives are given equitable space and time for sharing.
We value member well-being over progress.
PROFESSIONALISM
We integrate current data and best practices in our strategies.
We uphold ethical practices in each profession that is represented by our membership.
We commit to transparency in our collaborative actions, and we value other strategies’ feedback on those actions.
