ResumoIn an effort to address gaps in maternal mental health care, Senators Maggie Hassan (D‐N.H.) and Thom Tillis (R‐N.C.) introduced the Taskforce Recommending Improvements for Unaddressed Mental Perinatal & Postpartum Health (TRIUMPH) for New Moms Act of 2021, according to a Sept. 21 news release from 2020 Mom. The bill will create a federal task force and national strategy to coordinate government resources, improve program efficiency and work strategically with governors to increase mental health prevention and treatment services for moms across the United States. The TRIUMPH Act will coalesce key agencies within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, other federal departments and other stakeholders to: (1) review existing federal programs that address maternal mental health and better coordinate those programs; (2) identify and report on best practices related to prevention, screening, early intervention, referral to care and treatment for mothers with mental health issues; (3) develop a national strategy for maternal mental health; and (4) work with governors to disseminate the strategy and implement best practices in the states.
