This fall, the AAMC launched a new webinar series titled Improving Maternal Mental Health Outcomes: Varied Approaches to Closing the Gap of Care. The next webinar in the series, Establishing Equitable Models of Prenatal Care: The Elevating Voices, Addressing Depression, Toxic Stress and Equity (EleVATE) Collaborative, will take place on November 14th from 3:00 pm-4:00 pm ET. Developed by an interdisciplinary team of Black patients, obstetric clinicians, and mental health professionals, EleVATE Group Care aims to reduce preterm birth rates among Black women by incorporating evidence-based behavioral techniques. Through this work at seven sites across Missouri (and growing), EleVATE has already shown a significant improvement in health outcomes. This webinar will showcase the success of the program, their plans for the future, and the challenges they have faced along the way. We encourage you to register and share the information with your colleagues!
