We want to hear from you about how behavioral health care — or a lack of it — impacted a pregnancy
Substance use and mental health issues play a key role in the health of a pregnant person or their child before and after birth. Black and Indigenous mothers and infants experience the highest rates of pregnancy-related health problems. We need your help to understand the scope and scale of these issues.
We want to talk to people who have experienced mental health challenges through a pregnancy, or who have lost a partner, family member or child as a result of the birthing process. We’re especially interested in the experiences of Black and Native American families.
This can include, but isn’t limited to:
You can share your experiences in the form below. You can also call (253) 260-5219 to leave us a voicemail, or contact reporter Kaylee Tornay at kaylee@investigatewest.org.
By filling out this form, you're helping us and the broader public better understand how maternal and infant health disparities impact real people, and what systemic failures are causing them. Even if you don’t want your name published in a story, we’re still interested in hearing from you.
You can also read previous reporting by Tornay that helped launch this project. This project is supported by the USC Center for Health Journalism.
