Main Focus:

Provider implementation of screening and interventions for perinatal depression through:

  • Maternity Support Services (MSS): preventive health services include an assessment, education, intervention and counseling.
  • Infant Case Management (ICM): starts during a baby's third month (after Maternity Support Services) and assists new mothers with locating community resources. Infant case management may start at any time during the child's first year.
