The Maternal Mental Health Collective:
Greater Houston Gathering
Our Mission
We're building a stronger safety net for families across Greater Houston—from Conroe to Pearland, The Woodlands to Baytown, and everywhere in between. Our mission is to connect, equip, and strengthen the network of professionals supporting perinatal and maternal mental health, so that no provider works in isolation and no family falls through the cracks.
What to Expect
• Introduction from sponsors
• 45-minute featured presentation on clinical or systems-level topics
• Networking for collaboration
What We Do Together
Each month, we gather to strengthen the web of care surrounding birthing people and families. We connect across disciplines, create stronger referral pathways, learn from local experts, and build a more collaborative and inclusive care network.
What We Stand For
Collaborative care over silos.
Perinatal mental health isn't a solo endeavor. We believe families deserve a connected system of care where providers work together seamlessly across disciplines.
Inclusive, trauma-informed support.
Every family's journey is unique. We're committed to care that honors diverse experiences, centers dignity, and recognizes the impact of trauma.
Thriving providers, thriving families.
When providers feel supported, resourced, and connected, they can show up more fully for the families who need them. Strong professional networks create ripple effects that reach parents, babies, and entire communities.
Better together.
We believe that collaboration isn't just nice to have—it's essential. Strong networks build better outcomes, period.
Who Should Attend
This gathering is for any professional committed to accessible, trauma-informed, family-centered perinatal care. If you're ready to be part of a regional movement that's changing how we support families, we'd love to have you.

Next Gathering Topic 📌
She was in the system: How did we lose her?
The national conversation around severe perinatal mental illness has made one thing clear: screening is not enough — coordinated treatment is essential. Next month, the Maternal Mental Health Collective is trading the podium for a working session. Led by Lauren Pasqua, PhD, PMH-C, we'll build shared language around postpartum psychosis and other acute presentations, examine how — even when a mother is screened, connected to care, and surrounded by professionals — gaps between systems can leave serious symptoms unrecognized or insufficiently coordinated, and choose the connected-care tools we'll build together.
Every discipline is needed at the table.
