Black Maternal Health Awareness with BPPN
Description
This week, we welcome Felicia Stanley, Luanne Brown, and Program Mom Dora from the Buffalo Prenatal Perinatal Network (BPPN). We’ll delve into critical discussions about Black Maternal Awareness and health disparities.
Did you know that 1 in 5 new mothers faces a maternal mental health condition? The statistics are even more alarming for Black women, with 40% experiencing these symptoms—almost double the rate of all women. Despite this, only 20% of women are screened, and up to half may not receive the necessary support or treatment. Black women are also three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes compared to their white counterparts.
Join us to hear how BPPN is working to address and combat these disparities and discover what steps are being taken to improve outcomes and provide better support for Black mothers.
