Clinical Resources for Providers
If you are looking for a mental health provider for your patient, VTCPAP recommends the Vermont Counseling Network or Psychology Today. Help Me Grow Vermont is also a helpful resource for perinatal people.
Registered providers can call the VTCPAP team for assistance in connecting their patient to therapy and other mental health services.
