Meet women where they already are.
Work through local health facilities, Community Health Promoters and trusted caregivers so women do not have to find a separate system.
Maternal & perinatal wellbeing / MamaWell
Mental health is maternal health.
Every woman should be able to access respectful, appropriate emotional wellbeing support as part of maternal care.
Women should not navigate it alone
Make wellbeing part of maternal care.
Women interact with health services during pregnancy, childbirth and after birth, yet emotional needs may go unnoticed or remain disconnected from care. Barriers can be greater for women experiencing poverty, violence, disability, isolation, difficult reproductive experiences or limited support.
MIARE combines direct support for women with stronger maternal and community healthcare systems.
