Join the Mountain Plains Mental Health Technology Transfer Center, and the South Dakota Department of Health, for a two-hour training session on best practices for depression screening in perinatal populations.
Screening for depression symptoms without established plans for follow-up interventions can create challenges and anxiety for providers working in a variety of settings. This training will review best practices when screening perinatal populations for depression, and when needed, how to implement a team-based response to patients expressing thoughts of suicide. This session will also examine unique barriers experienced by perinatal persons when seeking care and discuss the importance of referral pathways for connecting individuals to care.
