A community response to addressing perinatal disparities and injustice in outcomes for Black and BIPOC birthing persons
Über uns
The core of Urban Perinatal Education Center’s mission is founded on addressing maternal care and outcome disparities. With the help of the community we will build this new initiative that aims to shift the dynamics of a healthcare system unable to meet the needs of a historically intentionally underserved and racially marginalized population. Urban Perinatal Education Center providers pride themselves on being trauma informed, culturally responsive, respectful, and wrap around care practitioners. They understand medical vernacular isn't necessarily understood by patients and will take the necessary time to explain procedures, illnesses, and associated next steps. A patient is to leave their care facility feeling empowered in their own health and healthcare

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Black women die in the perinatal period 2-3 times the rate of White women. The maternal mortality rate for Black women has increased from 37 deaths per 100,000 live births to 55.3 deaths per 100,000 live births from 2018 to 2020. Below are some factors contributing to higher rates of perinatal mood disorders and maternal mortality rates for Black women: 🌕Systemic racism 🌕Unemployment 🌕Exposure to violence 🌕Gaps in medical insurance 🌕Lack of access to high-quality medical and mental health care 🌕Lack of representation in the medical system 🌕Higher risk of pregnancy and childbirth complications What can be done to decrease the barriers to care for Black parents? 🌕Acknowledge the role of racism and cultural oppression. 🌕Build long-term, respectful relationships with community organizations and leaders. 🌕Embed diversity in the maternal and mental health care teams. 🌕Retrain and educate current health care professionals on culturally sensitive mental health curriculum. 🌕Provide social support for pregnant and postpartum people. 🌕Create mental health screenings that are designed for women of color. 🌕Support political and economic policies that help empower communities. 🌕Create services informed by cultural humility and holistic care. Even though these statistics are alarming, they make us at The Alliance work harder to bridge the gap in perinatal mental health for communities of color. In the meantime, if you want to learn more about these statistics or share them with your network, please visit the Maternal Mental Health Leadership Alliance website and download their fact sheet here.
