Evaluation of the Pediatric Mental Health Care Access and Screening and Treatment for Maternal Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders Programs

Through the 21st Century Cures Act, the American Rescue Plan Act of the Public Health Service Act, and the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) aims to increase the identification and treatment of behavioral health conditions via two programs: the Pediatric Mental Health Care Access Program (PMHCA) and the Screening and Treatment for Maternal Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders (MMHSUD).
