The Georgia Perinatal Mental Health Taskforce, hosted by Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of Georgia and Postpartum Support International Georgia Chapter, created an informational resource guide on perinatal mental health to help families and providers in Georgia access the resources they need. This supplemental resource list is a more comprehensive list that is updated monthly.
