Story summary

In Boston, Gov. Maura Healey proposed enhanced support and postpartum care for new parents in Massachusetts following the high-profile murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, who her attorneys claimed suffered from unresolved postpartum psychosis when she killed her three children in 2023. Healey's proposals include free home visits by nurses for all parents with newborns and updated regulations for mental health screenings during pregnancy and after childbirth. She also plans to invest $250,000 in the Massachusetts Child Psychiatry Access Program for Moms. During a visit to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Healey emphasized the need for more open conversations about maternal mental health issues. Clancy's case highlights ongoing concerns over postpartum care and accountability, with her attorneys arguing she should not face criminal responsibility due to psychosis while prosecutors believe evidence shows otherwise.
