In 2024, Mon Health’s Progressing Through Postpartum (P3) Program, West Virginia’s first dedicated perinatal mental health program, expanded care from Morgantown to Weston. The P3 Program is an award-winning and nationally recognized program, recently being awarded the $50,000 Highmark Bright Blue Futures Award and the West Virginia Rural Health Association’s Excellence Award.
Through the P3 Program, mothers are screened before, during, and after pregnancy for any indication of anxiety, depression, or mood disorder. This allows for early detection and management of symptoms, giving the P3 team an opportunity to connect with mothers early on and provide continuous support throughout their pregnancy and postpartum journey.
