The Seleni Institute is honored to partner with Dr. Marissa Long, licensed reproductive psychologist, on our newest professional program: the Black Perinatal Mental Health Training. This training will equip clinicians to provide culturally sensitive, respectful, and mindful care to Black birthing individuals and families.You will explore your own self-awareness as a practitioner and receive expert training in symptom presentation, physiology and epigenetics, treatment considerations, screening tools, resources, statistics and the impact of stigma. You’ll also walk away with a greater understanding of the systems which perpetuate trauma in the Black community through the Black birthing experience in particular, and the tools to advocate for your client as they navigate the perinatal period, their own mental health and a healthcare system that has contributed to inequities and negative birth and health outcomes for Black women and families.
Please note that this training is focused on the perinatal experience of the Black birthing community in the United States. However, there are many aspects of the experience that are shared across the diaspora due to the far-reaching arm of racism and implicit bias and also due to a shared culture of origin which runs through the veins of the Black community despite our separation.
