A Perinatal Psychiatry Access Program to Address Rural and Medically Underserved Populations Using Telemedicine
April 28, 2026
Marie Hayes, PhD
Participants reviewed the article titled “A Perinatal Psychiatry Access Program to Address Rural and Medically Underserved Populations Using Telemedicine.” This session allowed participants to understand the barriers to accessing mental healthcare for perinatal populations residing in rural or medically underserved areas, explore ways to integrate telehealth into care to increase access to screening and brief interventions for mental health and substance use disorders during the perinatal period, and consider adaptations to the MCPAP for Moms model to tailor a perinatal access program to their area’s needs.
