The Moms MATTER Act of 2020 establishes a task force to improve maternal mental and behavioral health outcomes, particularly for minority women. It aims to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity by promoting innovative care models, such as group prenatal and postpartum care. The bill also directs the Department of Health and Human Services to award grants for these initiatives and develop a national strategy to address these challenges, including a public awareness campaign and a centralized website for accessing resources.
