At Project TEACH, our goal is to ensure maternal health clinicians feel confident offering the right mental health interventions to patients.
Our no-cost consultations and trainings can help you identify mild-to-moderate mental health concerns earlier in the mother's journey.
Project TEACH is here to help.

Project TEACH offers resources, trainings and education opportunities to pediatric and maternal primary care clinicians across New York State to support your delivery of compassionate care to children, pregnant persons and families who experience mild-to-moderate mental health concerns. Project TEACH is run by psychiatrists and mental health clinicians, and is funded by the New York State of Mental Health (OMH).
Calls are responded to immediately Monday - Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
When you have a patient in need of mental health support, speak directly with psychiatrists to get them the help they need. Ask questions, discuss cases, review treatment options, or obtain referral assistance - whatever you need to support the mental health of your patients! Our psychiatrists are also available to provide a face-to-face evaluation of patients via video feed, if needed.
