About the Periscope Project
For Health Care Professionals: 877-296-9049
The Periscope Project was created to fill the critical gap between statewide depression screening initiatives and lack of perinatal psychiatric treatment services in Wisconsin. Health care providers often discontinue or delay initiation of antidepressant medication when pregnancy or breastfeeding is identified due to fears about medication safety. By offering resources to assist health care providers in treating their pregnant and postpartum patients, The Periscope Project reduces health disparities and increases healthy birth outcomes.
Our vision is for all providers caring for perinatal patients in Wisconsin to have access to specialty perinatal psychiatric and substance use consultations through their existing health care providers.
