Silent Auction - Autographed books from Robin Lim! George Washington University Survey-$$$ Mental Health in Midwifery  By Lisa Gendron, Secretary NACPM “A healthy mind creates a healthy society.” — Abhijit Naskar The past decade has placed significant strain on the mental health of both families and midwives in the United States, as they have navigated the realities of a global pandemic, shifting healthcare and social landscapes, rising costs of living, political unrest, and increasing community violence (Thumm et al., 2022). These pressures have deeply impacted midwives and the communities they serve. Viewed through a holistic lens, a sobering truth emerges: without addressing health at the societal level, well-being will remain elusive—for midwives and for the families in their care. “The physiology of human beings is very much affected by the environment, and that's what may be called—and I refer to as—the bio-psycho-social perspective. We think that this may be new. Well, it is revolutionary as far as mainstream medicine is concerned, but it is certainly not new.” — Gabor Maté Community midwives working within holistic models of care have long recognized that siloed approaches treat the body as a machine and perpetuate the illusion that physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, and community well-being exist separately (Savory et al., 2022). As embedded members of their communities, these midwives understand the interconnected social, economic, logistical, and environmental factors that shape mental health and influence every physiological system. Our birthing parents and infants often bear the burden of this fragmented care model. The United States continues to fail families, and the cost is profound: mental health conditions are now one of the leading causes of maternal mortality (Gimbel et al., 2024; Trost et al., 2021; Wisner et al., 2024). Access to stable housing, nourishing food, and supportive family structures—collectively known as the social determinants of health—are critical to community well-being. Midwives often confront these barriers firsthand, helping families navigate systems that fail to meet basic human needs and that exacerbate perinatal mental health disorders (Higgins et al., 2018). Yet, amid these challenges lies the potential for transformation. The midwifery profession can be empowered to support families more effectively by mobilizing community resources and fostering resilience within its own workforce. Comprehensive mental health training is essential to preparing midwives to recognize and respond to distress, build collaborative referral networks, and creatively address the root causes of harm. This work requires partnerships among midwives, mental health providers, doulas, community health workers, family physicians, and local organizations. The myths that drive new parents into isolation—and disconnect them from resources that could foster confidence and self-efficacy—are the same myths that contribute to suicide, substance use, and declining family health (Wisner et al., 2024). Though the path forward is challenging, midwifery remains an essential part of the solution. Through community advocacy, comprehensive training, robust support for students and practicing midwives, and meaningful investment in the midwifery workforce, the mental health of families and providers alike can become central to both policy and practice. We are part of the solution. References Dismantling Public Health Data Systems will Stymie Progress on Birth Outcomes – Unless We Act Now In this August 2025 article, Skyline Foundation’s Tanya Taiwo warns that recent cuts to public health data systems threaten to undermine decades of progress in maternal and infant health. Programs like PRAMS (which collects perinatal outcome data, including by race) are at risk or have already seen historic data removed. Without robust, integrated data infrastructure, we lose our ability to monitor, evaluate, and improve birth outcomes. Dr. Taiwo highlights how community-based data tools (like MANA Stats, CBDR, and AABC’s registry) help fill gaps, but they are under-resourced and burden providers. She argues that midwifery organizations, including NACPM, must lead the effort to rebuild a “quality and accountability” infrastructure for community births and calls on philanthropy and policy makers to invest now before public health systems erode further. We encourage you to read the full article to understand the urgency and complexity of this issue — especially for midwives and birth justice advocates.

As well as, implementation strategies for training, supplies, monitoring, and community engagement and key interventions like oxytocin, tranexamic acid, and treatment bundles Deadline Extended Apply to be a Speaker!

Registration Link Midwives for MOMS Update  We are proud to share that Representative Grey (D-CA) has joined Representative Ashley Hinson (R-IA) as the democratic lead on the Midwives for Maximizing Optimal Maternity Services (MOMS) Act in the House of Representatives. This bipartisan legislation will significantly strengthen midwifery education and expand access to care by creating new federal grant programs. It aims to support student midwives, expand or launch accredited midwifery schools and programs, and increase the number of preceptors. Importantly, the Act includes special consideration for institutions and students in rural, underserved, or economically disadvantaged areas. We are deeply thankful to our senate sponsors Senator Luján, Senator Murkowski, our house sponsors Representative Hinson, Representative Grey and all of our co-sponsors for championing this bill. Your support is helping pave the way for a more equitable, accessible maternity care system — one in which midwives are able to receive the education and training needed to serve families everywhere. Workforce Equity in Maternal Health: Tribal and Native Community-Led Solutions At the request of Senator Lujan’s office, NACPM in partnership with ACNM and AWHONN, completed a policy brief, Workforce Equity in Maternal Health: Tribal and Native Community-Led Solutions.

Take the Birth by Birth Pledge Now merch In midwifery, we each come from a legacy of practice and mentorship. My own lineage begins with my first preceptor, Tina Garzero of Maui, who brought so many midwives into the world including myself and Ibu Robin Lim. It was through Tina that I met Robin, and together we shared the unforgettable experience of attending a beautiful HBAC birth with five nuchal cords—an intense, humbling moment where two sister midwives leaned on each other and knew we would be part of each other’s lives forever. With deep affection and gratitude, I am offering these books written and personally signed by my friend and sister midwife, who graciously got them to me all the way from Bali for this auction. I reached out to Robin for her support because I believe profoundly in the vision of an equitable, integrated, midwifery-focused perinatal health care system, one where Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) continue to lead in community birth. I’ve seen firsthand how dozens of volunteers pour their hearts into this work and organization advancing quality improvement, workforce development, advocacy, and systems integration. I know what this scrappy, passion-fueled organization can accomplish with even a few hundred dollars of support, and I’m honored to contribute to that effort.

AABC News Brief 10/17/25 New California Law Aims to Expand Access to Birth Centers This week, California took a major step toward improving access to midwifery-led birth centers. Governor Gavin Newsom has signed the Freedom to Birth Act (AB 55), authored by Assemblymember Mia Bonta (D-Oakland), into law. The new law modernizes outdated birth center licensure requirements, removing barriers that have limited the growth or led to the closure of birth centers in California. By making it easier to open and sustain birth centers across the state. This change addresses a long-standing shortage of licensed facilities and aims to improve access to culturally concordant, community-based maternity care—especially for Black, Indigenous, and rural families. The legislation was supported by 45 organizations including co-sponsors AABC California Chapter, Black Women for Wellness Action Project, California Association of Licensed Midwives, California Black Women’s Health Project, California Nurse-Midwives Association, and the Western Center on Law & Poverty. We celebrate the passage of this bill as a critical advance for maternal health equity and choice in California. Learn more>> Arkansas Arkansas midwives will be holding a conference in Little Rock November 17-18th! The new chapter continues to meet monthly at a local library to listen to what the needs are in this state, hold peer review and support continuing education.
