The biggest challenge for the MBHL lies in helping pregnant women and families overcome the barriers that would prevent them from having a healthy pregnancy and baby. Each call is screened according to the identified needs of the caller and assessed to determine the appropriate direction of referral. All callers are educated about available health care services and resources, informed how to apply for services , and empowered to seek their own needed assistance. The MBHL Social Worker plays a vital link in enhancing the health of pregnant women and families in Marion County and reducing infant mortality.
