Maternal Wellness

The perinatal wellness program was developed to work specifically with birthing persons, dads and their families to  support whole family wellness. Our staff consists of a care navigator and  maternal behavioral health professional who work together with the birthing person and their family to develop a comprehensive  plan of care. Perinatal wellness focuses on combating social determinants of health: food insecurity and basic essential items, relationships and sexual health education, employment, health and medical care, mental health and substance use/abuse.

Through weekly one-on-one in-person visits, our care coordinator will administer evidence based assessments and screening tools, provide health education, linkage to resources, and help with appointment tracking and goal setting.
