If we’re going to make Brooklyn the safest place to have a baby, we have to prioritize new and expecting parents’ mental health. Mental health conditions are the leading cause of pregnancy-associated deaths in New York City, and it’s exciting to see Brooklyn coming together to change that and improve outcomes.”
