Interested in Personalized Technical Assistance on Integration of Behavioral Health and Maternal and Child Health?
The SAMHSA-HRSA Center for Integrated Health Solutions (CIHS) wants to take a moment to highlight the availability of FREE technical assistance to support maternal and child health organizations that are starting down the path of integrated care or looking to build on existing capacity.
To better improve health outcomes, primary care and behavioral health providers need the proper tools and support necessary to build collaborative care teams to address physical and behavioral health needs of women, child, adolescents, and their families. By improving access to comprehensive care, providers are then capable of creating a healthcare environment that effectively provides for maternal,
child and adolescent care. Perinatal depression is something that can not only affect the mother, but also the early bonding stages between mom and baby, and child's cognitive and emotional development. One of the major barriers with perinatal depression is how
under-recognized and under-diagnosed it is.
The
SAMHSA-HRSA Center for Integrated Health Solutions
(CIHS) provides personalized support to the range of primary and behavioral health care organizations on maternal and child health/behavioral health integration.
If you are interested, contact CIHS at [email protected]
or 202-684-7457 with your specific integration needs and we'll be in touch to schedule a free one-hour phone consultation.
