Florida's most precious asset is the health of it's families. The foundation of a family begins with the health of it's parents. Health IS wealth and mental health (a critical component of health) cannot be overlooked.
Perinatal mental illness is THE #1 health complication related to pregnancy and after delivery (postpartum).
