What is VMAP for Moms+?

1 in 5 pregnant or postpartum women are diagnosed with mood or anxiety disorder.1

20% of patients report having mental health issues during pregnancy or postpartum, but 75% never receive treatment.1 Perinatal mental health issues are the leading cause of maternal mortality in America, and left untreated, they can lead to preterm delivery, difficulty bonding with the child, and much more. In response, The Virginia Mental Health Access Program (VMAP) acquired additional state funding to launch a perinatal expansion—VMAP for Moms+.  

VMAP for Moms+ was developed for Virginia prescribers who provide care to pregnant and postpartum individuals and/or their children, including:

OB/GYNs
Primary Care Clinicians
Midwives
Pediatricians
Psychiatrists

To access free same-day mental health consultation for a perinatal patient, Virginia prescribers can call 888-371-VMAP (8627) and press 1 during normal business hours to connect with perinatal psychiatrists and perinatal licensed mental health professionals. You can also access care navigators who will help your pregnant or postpartum patients connect directly with local mental health resources.

In addition to our pediatric mental health offerings, VMAP has added CME/CE trainings for Virginia prescribers who want to learn more about screening, diagnosing, and treating perinatal mental health conditions.
