Key Services Offered

✅ Kaiser Permanente, serving as a Managed Care Plan (MCP) in Sacramento County, provides a comprehensive and integrated approach to supporting maternal mental health. Their services are designed to ensure timely identification, referral, and treatment of mental health needs during the prenatal and postpartum periods.

✅ Kaiser’s care model is anchored in their OBGYN clinics, where trained providers screen for mental health concerns and refer patients to appropriate behavioral health specialists. KP offers a wide range of support, including access to licensed mental health professionals, digital resources, educational classes, and personalized one-on-one care through programs like Early Start.

✅ Kaiser also embeds non-clinical support through trained doulas and Community Health Workers (CHWs), who provide culturally responsive, short-term peer support. In collaboration with county behavioral health partners, KP uses standardized screening tools and care transition protocols to determine the right level of care—whether mild to moderate cases treated internally or more complex cases referred externally.

This integrated, member-centered approach reflects KP’s commitment to holistic maternal wellness, continuity of care, and addressing social determinants of health throughout the perinatal journey.
