Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 18 101
The Screening and Treatment for Maternal Depression and Related Behavioral Disorders Program (HRSA-18-101) is a discretionary Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) cooperative agreement aimed at strengthening how health care systems respond to maternal mental and behavioral health needs. Its core purpose is to establish, improve, or sustain programs that increase health care providers' ability to screen, assess, treat, and refer pregnant and postpartum women for maternal depression and related behavioral health disorders. A major emphasis is reaching rural and medically underserved communities, where shortages of specialized behavioral health clinicians often make it difficult for patients to get timely, appropriate care.
The program is designed around the idea that better maternal mental health leads to better outcomes not only for mothers, but also for infants, particularly in early social and emotional development. To reach that goal, funded efforts are expected to expand access to affordable services that are culturally and linguistically appropriate, and that include treatment and recovery supports rather than just short-term identification of symptoms. In practice, this means building systems where frontline clinicians who routinely see pregnant and postpartum patients can reliably identify concerns, quickly consult experts when needed, and connect patients to effective care pathways.
A key feature of the opportunity is its encouragement to build on or integrate with existing statewide or regional psychiatric consultation services. For example, some states already operate consultation lines that help primary care providers treating children and adolescents; this grant supports adapting similar models so providers can also address depression and other behavioral health conditions in mothers and caregivers. This approach acknowledges a nationwide scarcity of psychiatric providers and aims to stretch specialist capacity by creating consultation, referral, and support structures that serve entire regions rather than isolated clinics.
The scope of conditions extends beyond depression alone. While maternal depression is central, the program also targets related behavioral health disorders, including anxiety and substance use disorders such as opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder. By including these issues, the grant supports more comprehensive maternal behavioral health systems that can respond to the real-world mix of conditions that commonly co-occur during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
The program is explicitly meant to support a wide range of frontline health care providers who encounter pregnant and postpartum women. This includes, but is not limited to, obstetricians/gynecologists, nurse midwives, pediatricians, primary care providers, psychiatric providers, and other mental health clinicians. The intent is to give these providers practical resources such as screening support, clinical consultation, treatment guidance, and streamlined referral options, so that maternal behavioral health care becomes more accessible within everyday health care settings rather than depending entirely on scarce specialty clinics.
