Mother, Infant, and Early Child Services

Missouri Healthy Moms and Babies
A collaborative program between various Missouri state agencies. These agencies ensure Missouri residents' physical and mental well-being and offer a wide range of resources, benefits, and services to provide comprehensive healthcare and promote optimal health for mothers and babies.

Missouri Early Connections
A central place for families and experts to learn more about what young children need. It helps families and experts across the state create safe settings, support a child’s well-being and growth, and link with services and support. 

Maternal Health Access Project (MHAP)
A new statewide perinatal psychiatry access program. Any health care provider in the state who sees patients in the perinatal period (pregnancy through 12 months after delivery) may enroll in MHAP to receive education and support in treating the mental and behavioral health conditions of their perinatal patients. Providers enrolled in MHAP can access same-day consultation with a perinatal psychiatrist, care coordination services, and educational materials and trainings on topics related to perinatal mental health.

Missouri Perinatal Quality Collaborative 
This is a joint effort to provide supports and resources to connect community, public health and clinical leasers to improve the care and support systems that lead to better health and health outcomes before, during and after a pregnancy.
