Policies that would actually help bonding: adequate family leave, housing reform, Medicaid extension, health equity, improved access to evidence-based MH tx for families in need or at risk, CBO supports for those without adequate family/community practical and emotional support..

Yes, to all of this! I try to tell all my pregnant and pp patients that "bonding" is not magic fairy dust. It's a relationship that is messy and real, and will grow with care, time, and "good-enough" parenting
Getting my skeptical hat on for Infant Mental Health Awareness week. Gawd save us from mental health awareness weeks. This morning I woke to pings from several friends asking for opinions on this headline: 1 in 10 women struggle to bond with their baby https://t.co/niCFsIekuG

Want to reduce mass shootings at schools and colleges? Screening for mental illness is not the answer, because few shooters have a serious mental illness. What is the answer? Reducing access to guns. https://t.co/1FWE4Etifr via @medscape

Im nowhere demonizing anti-depressants. I’m in support of them. I also think there is more going on here - many moms lack access to basic/safe housing, childcare, maternity leave, etc etc. We are leaving moms behind which definitely affects their mental health!

The "House of God" (Medicine) has come a long way & still has many miles ahead: “The culture is slowly growing to be more understanding...[but] medicine is not yet at a place where a pregnant person is fully accommodated.” @amy_gottlieb @BridgetBalch @AAMCtoday
Medical students across the country are calling for greater support for new parents, pushing for more comprehensive parental leave policies. As @CMangurian highlights, addressing the needs of caregivers is critical to cultivating a sustainable workforce. https://t.co/gPT95MDfIe

U.S. maternal health crisis facts: 1⃣ The U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rate of any high-income country. 2⃣ More than 4 in 5 pregnancy-related deaths in the U.S. are preventable. 3⃣ There are stark racial and ethnic disparities in maternal health outcomes in the U.S.

Some revealing quotes from the report on racism in NY’s child welfare agency (ACS), which ACS never publicly released, via @nytimes. 🧵

New York City’s Administration for Children’s Services must protect children without overpolicing families. A report the agency commissioned says it often fails.
