UIC PERINATAL MENTAL HEALTH PROJECT

Healthcare Provider Consultation Line Service

Illinois Perinatal Mental Health Consultation Line

1-800-573-6121

This service consults to health care providers who have questions about the detection, diagnosis and treatment of perinatal depression and anxiety disorders. Consultants are UIC faculty and staff clinicians (psychiatrists, an advanced practice nurse and a social worker). While providers seeking consultation may call this line for information in making treatment decisions about a particular patient or patients, this service does not consult directly to or about individual patients, and should not be construed as direct advice about managing any particular patient’s care. Please also note that this is not a “hotline” and calls are answered or responded to usually within one business day.

Our project’s quality depends on feedback from consultation line users. The Project Coordinator will ask you to consent to a BRIEF survey about the consultation service. You will be sent the consent form to sign and return. The survey will then be conducted by phone, fax or e-mail to best suit your availability.
