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+. This program was developed for Virginia prescribers who provide care to pregnant and postpartum individuals and/or their children, including OB/GYNs, midwives, primary care clinicians, pediatricians, nurse practitioners, and psychiatrists.
