This presentation will explore the unique maternal mental health challenges faced by the Haitian population, with a focus on cultural and systemic factors that impact access to care.

Participants will gain insights into the cultural beliefs surrounding mental health in Haitian communities, common barriers Haitian mothers face in seeking care, and strategies for providing culturally competent and responsive mental health support.

Attendees will leave with practical tools and knowledge to better serve this population during pregnancy, postpartum, and in cases of pregnancy or infant loss.
