What is the Arizona Perinatal Psychiatry Access Line (A-PAL)?
APAL is a telephone access line that helps front-line healthcare providers in Arizona – such as OB/GYNs, primary care, pediatricians, family medicine doctors, PAs, and nurses – identify and address the mental health and/or substance use concerns of their pregnant and postpartum patients.
When medical providers call our toll-free number, they are connected with a perinatal psychiatrist who will help determine the best next steps for treatment.
If you work for a clinic or system seeing perinatal patients, we are pleased to offer free trainings. Please fill out this form to request a training.
