Practical Skills for Identifying Perinatal Mental Health Challenges
About this Event

About this event:

Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is inherently a season of immense change. Sometimes we see clients roll with these changes, work through challenges, and grow into their new identities fairly seamlessly. At other times we see clients who deeply and profoundly struggle to feel ok. How do we know when hard is too hard? How can you, as a birth or postpartum professional, determine whether your client is experiencing more challenge than what is reasonable or healthy? And what can you do about it?

Join us for an evening of learning about how to answer these questions, centered around identifying common stressors and symptoms, with additional perspectives on how perinatal challenges effect neurodivergent parents, and practical tools and resources for supporting the families you serve.

For 15 years, she supported families as a birth and postpartum doula and childbirth educator, witnessing firsthand the depth and complexity of both the joy and hardship that parents and the professionals who support them can experience.

She works with individuals navigating infertility, challenging pregnancies, difficult birth experiences, postpartum struggles, relationship challenges, and trauma.
