One in seven mothers experiences a postpartum mental health condition. Rural women and families face barriers to accessing adequate care for postpartum mental health problems. Such barriers may include limited availability of mental health care providers, and difficulties arranging for child care, transportation, and payment.

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) plans to share the winning solutions with rural communities, healthcare systems, healthcare professionals, local and state policy makers, federal partners, and the public. This challenge is a single-phase competition with two categories: success stories and proposals. **Success stories** will highlight community achievements and **new program proposals** will demonstrate innovative planning for community action to improve postpartum mental health.
