HB 960 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Health, Dept. of - As enacted, requires the department to collaborate with an organization in this state to create or identify a continuing education program to provide healthcare professionals with information or training relative to maternal mental health disorders. - Amends TCA Title 63.

HB 960 requires Tennessee's medical, osteopathic, and psychology licensing boards to develop and offer an optional continuing education course on maternal mental health. This affects physicians specializing in obstetrics/gynecology, pediatrics, or psychiatry, as well as certain psychologists. The course must cover screening practices, types of maternal mental health disorders, effective treatment options (including patient involvement in care plans), and when to consult a specialist versus making a referral. Successful completion of this course counts toward required continuing education for license renewal.
