Creating workplaces where new and expectant parents feel supported, safe, and valued requires collaboration across sectors. Breaking Down the Silos: Maternal Mental Health in the Workplace brings together leaders in business, law, healthcare, and community advocacy to explore how organizations can better respond to the mental health needs of mothers and birthing people.
This morning event features a dynamic expert panel including legal, business, and mental health professionals who will unpack the policies, cultural norms, and systemic barriers that shape the workplace experience for pregnant and postpartum employees. Panelists will share actionable strategies for employers, HR teams, and community partners seeking to build environments that promote psychological safety, flexibility, and equitable support.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage with poster presentations highlighting new insights and emerging research across intersectional areas impacting maternal mental health in professional settings—ranging from racial disparities and trauma‑informed care to workplace accommodations, leadership practices, and the lived experiences of working mothers.
The event concludes with dedicated networking time, offering space for professionals across industries to connect, share ideas, and build collaborative relationships aimed at strengthening workplace wellbeing for new parents.
All participants will walk away with actionable information and strategies.
Together, we can break down silos, elevate maternal mental health, and create workplaces where every parent can thrive.
