Thank you for joining the growing number of providers in southwest Montana who are expanding their ability to work with families in the perinatal period. The Roots Resource Guide: Connection and Support from Pregnancy to Parenthood highlights those providers who have received specific training in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) as well as those who have experience working with families in this unique developmental stage. It will serve as a safety net for families seeking care and providers seeking referral options. This Guide will not serve as a recommendation or endorsement of specific providers, but will simply serve as an informational listing for those seeking support.
Steps to be listed in 2023:
- Review eligibility requirements & fees, completely fill out the application, and submit payment below.
- Your application will be reviewed by the Resource Advisory Committee and you will be contacted if they have any additional questions.
- If your application is approved, you will be notified and your listing will be added to the guide and printed in January 2023. If your application is not accepted, you will notified and will be refunded your application fee.
FAQ before getting started:
1. I am in practice with other providers. Should we fill out one application or separate applications?
We have tried to streamline the application process so groups of providers working together can all apply directly on the same application, however, that does require that you have all of your colleagues' information handy when submitting, i.e., # of years in practice, CEUs/names of specific PMAD trainings/pertinent information about how PMADs have been addressed in their training. You can always apply separately if that's easier than wrangling information and send us an email to be invoiced as a group.

2. I do not meet the CEU requirements but I have been working with moms and families for a long time and feel I offer a valuable service and should be listed. What should I do?
Apply! We value providers who have experience working with perinatal clients. There is a place in the application to expand on how you work with moms and families, and how PMADs have been addressed in your professional development. Feel free to share more with us about how you will use this guide to refer your clients, etc. Please contact Suzanne directly at suzanne@rootsfamilycollaborative.com if you have questions.

3. I am not currently accepting new patients/clients, should I still list in the Guide?
We have received numerous questions about this because like you, we certainly never want to send a parent down a rabbit hole of seeking care to find out that no one is accepting patients, BUT we also know that the nature of availability is dynamic. If you/your practice has made a commitment to addressing perinatal mental health, our community needs to know.

4. I am not a direct service provider but I offer free support groups or other opportunities for mothers and families to come together. Should I be in this resource guide?
Absolutely! Not only is this guide meant to be a place to find healthcare professionals working in the perinatal period, it is meant to be a place where all the resources in our community that support the mental well being of families can be highlighted. If you have questions about where your listings fits, email Suzanne directly at suzanne@rootsfamilycollaborative.com.
