The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) will develop and implement the Maternal Anti-Violence Innovation and Sharing (MAVIS) Project to address violent maternal death in Kansas due to suicide and homicide. This initiative will create an integrated continuum of care that ensures both perinatal health care providers and community-based intimate partner violence providers are equipped with evidence-based tools, skills and community resources to consistently and adequately screen, educate and refer pregnant and postpartum women for intimate partner violence and behavioral health needs including Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) and substance use disorders. In addition, the MAVIS Project will strengthen the work of the Kansas Maternal Mortality and Review Committee (KMMRC) through additional case review of cases involving maternal deaths due to homicide or suicide. The KMMRC's findings for these cases will be included in the annual KMMRC report along with recommendations to prevent further violent maternal deaths.
