Margaret Fullmer is a Maternal Mental Health Faith-Based Organization Outreach Coordinator at the Utah Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS). In her role, she collaborates with faith-based organizations throughout Utah to raise awareness about maternal mental health. The aim of DHHS is to educate religious leaders and equip faith communities with the resources needed to recognize maternal mental health challenges and guide individuals toward the appropriate services. The loss of a woman during pregnancy, delivery, or postpartum is a devastating event for both her family and society. At DHHS, we are deeply concerned about maternal mental health, as conditions such as postpartum depression, anxiety, and stress have emerged as leading causes of death among maternal women due to suicide and accidental overdose in recent years. These deaths are preventable with the right support and intervention.
