Perinatal Mental Health Resources
The Prenatal Care Coordination Program has put together a series of Perinatal Mental Health Training Modules. The modules provide information and guidance on identification of depression, anxiety and other perinatal mental health concerns, screening with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and in-home and community-based interventions to support perinatal mental health.
These modules are intended for providers serving women and their families during the perinatal period, including home visiting, women’s health, public health, mental health, and ambulatory care clinicians. The series of Perinatal Mental Health Training Modules is available on our main Prenatal Care Coordination page. Below are references and citations for some of the modules.
