Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders: task force.

Abstract

Existing law establishes various programs relating to perinatal health, including a comprehensive perinatal outreach program targeting the health effects of drugs and alcohol, the development of regionalized perinatal health systems, and the development of a model needs assessment protocol for pregnant and postpartum substance abusing women. This bill would permit the State Department of Public Health, in conjunction with the State Department of Mental Health, to establish a task force, as prescribed, to develop recommendations and educational materials for the department's perinatal health programs. This bill would permit the State Department of Public Health to use nonpublic contributions to carry out the purposes of this bill. This bill would, if the department creates the task force, create the California Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders Awareness Fund and permit voluntary contributions to be deposited into the fund. This bill would continuously appropriate the money in the fund to the department to carry out the purposes of this bill.
