This allows providers to discuss case-specific questions with a perinatal mental health expert, building their capacity to treat the behavioral health needs of their patients.<\/p>\n<p>The consultation service is offered\u00a0<strong>to health care providers and professionals only. Please do not direct your patients to call the consultation line.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Providers who call the line will speak with one of our behavioral health coordinators (BHC). Our BHCs gather information about the nature of the call and the patient, respond to questions within the scope of their expertise, and provide resources and referrals. If the provider needs to speak with a perinatal psychiatrist, they will receive a call back within 30 minutes. We can also work with you to schedule a callback at a day and time that suits your schedule. NC MATTERS psychiatric providers can assist with diagnostic clarification, medication questions, and developing appropriate care plans.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"\tbox-purple-light\t\">\n\t \n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/ncmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1000\/2023\/08\/AdobeStock_560368176.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3414 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/ncmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1000\/2023\/08\/AdobeStock_560368176.png\" alt=\"exclamation point\" width=\"70\" height=\"70\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/ncmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1000\/2023\/08\/AdobeStock_560368176.png 3500w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/ncmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1000\/2023\/08\/AdobeStock_560368176-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/ncmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1000\/2023\/08\/AdobeStock_560368176-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/ncmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1000\/2023\/08\/AdobeStock_560368176-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/ncmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1000\/2023\/08\/AdobeStock_560368176-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/ncmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1000\/2023\/08\/AdobeStock_560368176-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/ncmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1000\/2023\/08\/AdobeStock_560368176-2048x2048.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/ncmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1000\/2023\/08\/AdobeStock_560368176-600x600.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 70px) 100vw, 70px\" \/><\/a><\/h4>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">This is NOT a Crisis \/ Emergency Line<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Please note that NC MATTERS is a consultation service and NOT a crisis\/emergency line.
