The Provider Collaborative & Resource Guide Application (2025)

Welcome to The Provider Collaborative

Thank you for joining the expanding network of providers in southwest Montana dedicated to supporting families during the perinatal period–from preconception to parenthood.

We’re excited to introduce The Provider Collaborative—a NEW, membership-based initiative offering partnership plans with exclusive benefits designed to strengthen connections among providers and amplify community impact.

ALL Partner Plans include a listing in 2025 Roots Perinatal Resource Guide & Online Directory.

The Perinatal Resource Guide for growing your family will feature providers trained in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) and those with experience working with families during this pivotal stage. Serving as a comprehensive directory, this guide will be a vital resource for families seeking care and for providers looking to establish referral networks.

*This guide is not intended as a recommendation or endorsement of specific providers. Instead, it serves as an informational listing for those seeking support.

To register for The Provider Collaborative, and be included in the Guide:

  1. Review the eligibility requirements and partner plans
  2. Complete the application
  3. Submit your payment using the link below

Your registration application will be reviewed by The Provider Collaborative Advisory Committee, and you will be contacted if further information is needed.

If approved, your listing will be added to the guide, which will be printed in January 2025. In the event your registration is not approved, you will be notified, and your registration fee will be refunded.
