Depression is a common problem that affects approximately 10 to 15% of pregnant and postpartum women. Health care providers often fail to recognize depression in this population, and pregnant and postpartum women may be reluctant to seek help because of the stigma associated with mental illness. This article describes the Maternal Mental Health Program, an innovative, shared care program that brings together previously fragmented services and co-locates multidisciplinary clinicians within a primary care setting. This approach shows promise with respect to improving mental health outcomes; meeting the needs of women, health care students, and service providers; and increasing awareness of and access to specialized mental health care
