DESCRIPTION
Pregnancy and motherhood can be one of the most joyful times in a woman’s life. It is also one of the most critical periods when the interplay of mental and physical health can have a lasting effect on both mother and child, as well as her family. THE PERINATAL COMMUNITY INITIATIVE (PCI) is a new project in response to this growing need to integrate physical and behavioral health in order to better serve women with PERINATAL MOOD AND ANXIETY DISORDERS (PMADs). The PCI is designed to improve health outcomes through a three-pronged approach led by a community-based, perinatal mental health social worker.

PERINATAL Community Initiative
THE PERINATAL COMMUNITY INITIATIVE (PCI) is a new project in response to the growing need to integrate physical and behavioral health in order to bet-ter serve women with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs). This is a comprehensive project designed to improve perinatal health outcomes for the entire family, including mother, infant and his/her siblings, and parenting partner who reside in Jackson County and Kansas City (south).
This program is unique because it focuses on the community. The project ensures that perinatal mental health screenings take place in diverse settings such as hospitals, health care clinics, home nurs-ing programs, early childhood educational programs, and other educational and health care settings.
Recognizing that women need a seamless transition to care, the project will ensure that women are navigated to services they need. Truman Medical Center will also work with area organizations to raise awareness of PMADs to overcome stigma and barriers to care.
Funding for this project was provided in part by the Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City.
OUR BELIEFSPregnancy and motherhood can be one of the most joyful times in a woman’s life. It is also one of the most critical periods when the interplay of mental and physical health can have a lasting affect on both mother and child, as well as her family.
Regular screenings for PMADs throughout pregnancy with early intervention provide mothers with care and supports needed to ensure healthier pregnan-cies, healthier infants, and healthier families.
OUR GOALSBetter Care. Better Health. Lower Costs.
OUR APPROACHThe Perinatal Community Initiative is designed to improve health outcomes through a three-pronged approach led by a community-based, perinatal men-tal health social worker using a public health approach to provide better care, better health, and lower costs by:
• Increasing coordination of care and support for pregnant women with mental health needs among multiple providers by implementing a system of screening pregnant women on a regular basis for PMADs; and, by taking immediate steps to intervene through assertive case management facilitating connection with prescriptive referrals and mental health treatment.
• Working with community partners to increase awareness about perinatal mental health among both providers and consumers to overcome stigma and logistical barriers to accessing systems of care in the safety-net healthcare neighborhood.
• Improving access and response to the needs of pregnant and post-partum women and their families for the infant’s first three years of life through part-nerships with social institutions to ensure seamless navigation through systems of care with the goal of long-term positive health outcomes.
