Welcome to Los Angeles County Maternal Mental Health Access (LAMMHA)
Los Angeles Maternal Mental Health Access (LAMMHA) is a five year program (2022 – 2026) funded by The California Health Care Foundation (CHCF) to support health centers in Los Angeles to identify and treat common perinatal mental disorders (CPMD) and reduce the risk of suicide. The LAMMHA initiative is a collaboration between Community Clinic Association of Los Angeles County (CCALAC), Elevation Health Partners (EHP), Maternal Mental Health Now (MMHN), Concert Health and the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington. Co-created with Los Angeles community stakeholders, the LAMMHA program currently offers Los Angeles County providers and community clinics two different levels of support to improve perinatal mental health care. Please see our flyer, flyer supplement, and details below on how you can participate in the learning opportunity to improve mental health care for your perinatal patient population.
