Pregnant and new mothers are particularly vulnerable, facing social isolation and a lack of accessible mental health resources. Post-partum depression (PPD) affects approximately 1 in 7 mothers, leading to long-term consequences for both parent and child if untreated. Early intervention and community support are critical to preventing these outcomes.</div></dd>\n<dt name=\"checkbox-group-1756922140917-0\">Which groups does your idea focus on?
