"It is very reassuring to have someone available to consult with. In my area we have no psychiatrists with an interest in perinatal mood disorders. My colleagues and I continue to struggle to find services for our patients, both psychotherapists and psychiatrists. We really appreciate the support we have from MC3."

"I truly believe this is a valuable service. Access to mental health care is so difficult! As a midwife, my patients often come to me for issues outside of OBGYN related concerns. I am happy they feel comfortable with me for all areas of their health care but I have a specific scope of practice. MC3 allows me to help these women at a vulnerable time confidently."

"This program has been a lifesaver. I can call and get help with behavioral health issues within a day. MC3 providers have enabled me to better care for patients that would otherwise be somewhat outside of my practice "comfort zone" ; unfortunately these children have no easy access to pediatric psychiatric services and we primary care providers are "it" in rural Northern Michigan. I am especially happy with the faxed summary of our discussion that I can refer to in the future if need be."

"Working in a rural area with no pediatric psychiatric help, this program has been a game changer in my ability to care for my "whole" patient. It has helped me in the "how" and "why" of diagnosis and treatment of different mental health problems that I typically would have referred out."

"This service has been absolutely ‘practice-changing’. As we have more and more patients with mental health issues and limited local resources- we are essentially the only option for these kids. Having MC3 support helps us make good treatment decisions and is also ‘on the job training’ which we can apply to future patients…”
