Purpose of the Program
The purpose of this program is to expand health care providers’ capacity to screen, assess, treat, and refer pregnant and postpartum people for maternal mental health and substance use disorders. This will be accomplished by establishing, improving, and/or maintaining statewide or regional1 networks that provide real-time psychiatric consultation, care coordination support services, and culturally and linguistically appropriate training to maternity care providers and clinical practices. This program is also intended to help reduce maternal health inequities.
Goals
The program’s long-term goals are to:
- Increase routine behavioral health screening for pregnant and postpartum persons;
- Increase routine detection, assessment, brief intervention, treatment, and referral of maternal mental health conditions through the use of evidence-based practices; and,
- Increase access to treatment and recovery support services for pregnant and postpartum persons that are culturally and linguistically appropriate (e.g., translation of materials), community-based, that may be provided in-person or via telehealth.
Objectives
The program objectives to be accomplished during the period of performance to support program goals, are included below. Recipients will collect and report baseline data by the end of Year 1, and subsequently achieve by the conclusion of the performance period in 2028, the following objectives:
- Increase the number of providers using the program for real-time psychiatric consultations and/or care coordination support services (including referrals).
- Increase the number of providers trained on maternal mental health and substance use disorders, including screening, assessment, treatment, and follow-up recovery support services.
