The Emerging Stories of Perinatal Behavioral Health in Kansas:
What stories can our perinatal screening and intervention data begin to tell us about the practice landscape in Kansas and the care perinatal families are receiving? As we enter our fourth year of this specific grant (though improving perinatal outcomes has been a priority for many stakeholders in our state for a number of years), we are excited to share emerging data and celebrate the work being done by numerous partners and providers engaged in this work. Take a look at some numbers from our work with providers over the last year:
-
348 KS providers engaged in a perinatal behavioral health training event.
-
32 providers received direct technical assistance from our expert team and 49 providers participated in quality improvement initiatives at their organizations.
The aim of the Kansas Connecting Communities (KCC) program is to improve perinatal health outcomes by supporting providers establish and improve screening and referral processes as well as access to training and other evidence-based best practice resources. These numbers demonstrate the scale and scope of the practice transformation taking place in our state. We will continue to offer training and technical assistance as well as to support providers engaged in perinatal behavioral health screening and interventions. We encourage you to utilize available resources and celebrate the progress that is being made in our state!
