Why This Matters

The Mental Health and MAMA Act of 2026 ensures that new parents can access mental health and substance use services without having to pay out-of-pocket costs. This is important because it helps support the mental well-being of parents during a critical time in their lives.

If you are a new parent, you could receive mental health care without any extra costs for a full year after giving birth.
