Supporting Providers to Support Moms
KyCOMPASS gives healthcare providers fast access to licensed perinatal mental health experts, tools, and resources, helping you deliver safe, personalized care for every patient when she needs it most.
What We Do
KyCOMPASS strengthens perinatal mental health care in Kentucky by giving providers, especially busy OB/GYNs, timely access to behavioral health support through three core areas.
- Consultation – Near real-time guidance from licensed perinatal mental health clinicians and psychiatrists to help OB/GYNs navigate complex cases, screening, and treatment decisions.
- Education & Training – Individualized trainings for clinics and hospitals, webinars, workshops, and toolkits to build OB/GYN and staff knowledge and confidence.
- Resources & Referrals – Practical tools, screening guides, and connections to local community resources to ensure patients receive the care they need.
Together, these three pillars make it easier for OB/GYNs to integrate mental health care into busy practices and improve outcomes for pregnant and postpartum patients across Kentucky.
Who We Support
KyCOMPASS is designed exclusively for Kentucky healthcare providers, not for direct patient access. Our services support providers caring for pregnant and postpartum individuals experiencing mental health or substance use concerns, giving you the tools, guidance, and resources needed to provide high-quality, timely care.
Kentucky’s New Chapter in Perinatal Mental Health Care
KyCOMPASS brings expertise and innovation in perinatal mental health care to Kentucky. As a new program, we provide near real-time consultation, individualized trainings for clinics and hospitals, comprehensive provider resources, and educational opportunities—all designed to equip Kentucky healthcare providers with the knowledge, tools, and support needed to enhance care for pregnant and postpartum patients. Our mission is to make high-quality perinatal mental health care accessible statewide while strengthening the confidence and skills of every provider serving Kentucky families.
Funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration, HRSA, KyCOMPASS actively collaborates with other programs through annual meetings, monthly special interest group meetings, and larger collaborative events. These partnerships help expand the reach of KyCOMPASS and connect providers with valuable resources and support across the state.
