This project will develop an innovative service delivery model that reduces barriers to care by training established home visitors to support perinatal clients experiencing depression. The University of Michigan will create a web-based training package focused on perinatal depression to educate approximately 50 
Healthy Families America staff, 41 home-visitors, and 9 supervisors that serve rural regions. Training perinatal home visitors, the trusted support system already providing in-person care in rural communities, will sustainably increase access to mental health services and perinatal depression care for people living in rural, under-resourced areas of the state.
