A Two-Part Series for Community Mental Health Care Providers

2 - 4 p.m. PT on
Tuesday, June 4th & Thursday, June 6th, 2024

Culturally relevant perinatal mental health care recognizes and addresses the unique cultural, social, and contextual factors that influence the mental health and wellness of individuals during the perinatal period, which includes pregnancy and the first year postpartum. Addressing perinatal mental health within community mental health care is essential for promoting the well-being of individuals, families, and communities by ensuring early intervention, integrated care, reduced stigma, and access to support services during this critical life stage.

The Pacific Southwest MHTTC is proud to partner with Maternal Mental Health Now (MMMN) to offer this no cost, two-part workshop series covering the foundations of perinatal mental health and the impacts of addressed and unaddressed perinatal mental health on individuals, families and systems.

The first workshop in this series explores the essentials of perinatal mental health as well as practices and tools used by MMMN in California communities. Please note that attending workshop 1 is a prerequisite to attending Part 2. 

The second workshop delves into assessment and implementation approaches, with in-depth scenarios exploring referral options, mitigating risk factors and increasing support for perinatal mental health conditions. Participants will walk away with a foundational understanding of the whys and hows of engaging cultural humility and trauma-informed approaches in perinatal mental health care.
