Governor Maura Healey is calling for improved care for new parents. This comes after a high-profile trial where a woman's attorneys argued she was suffering from a mental health condition when she committed a tragic act. The governor proposes several measures, including free home visits by nurses and updated mental health screening regulations.

A recent visit to a medical center was part of the governor's effort to address the issue. Further details about the proposed measures are available.

Support is available for those who may be struggling with their mental health.
