01 — Know Your Health Plan

AB2193 requires all health plans to develop a Maternal Mental Health Program.

​Call your health plan or visit their website to find out what they offer.

02 — Advocate For Yourself

It is ok to say you want a provider who looks like you, speaks your language or represents your culture. And, you don't have to stick with the first one you see. It can take time to find a therapist who is a good fit for your needs.

​If your health plan can't meet your needs ask for an "out-of-network" provider.

03 — Don't Give Up!

It can take some time to get established with a provider or find a provider who is right for you.

Many health plans have case managers that can help.
