The Policy Center for Maternal Mental Health has just released its annual State Report Cards, and you can view them now. The overall U.S. grade improved slightly over last year, from a C- to a C, but NO states received As. In Washington, we are one of only 11 states that scored in the B range. The U.S. earned an F in the new "Parental Support" metric, which measures data on parental leave and childcare availability, among others.
