Models of care: Opportunities and challenges.

Perinatal mental health models can broadly be described by scope and structure. Within these two broad domains lies an array of diverse methodologies that have attempted to increase access and coordination of care. These efforts have uncovered many opportunities that, if addressed, may improve our current parent and infant outcomes within our healthcare system and community. Furthermore, there are several opportunities that, if addressed, will result in more equitable, inclusive care. These include being attentive to the unique needs of vulnerable populations, emphasizing community efforts, and closing the current gaps in legislation.
