Too often, Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) go unrecognized. This can leave mothers feeling alone and isolated which can impact the entire family unit.

Any professional or student that regularly works with perinatal women should be aware of the signs and symptoms of PMADs. HMHB is offering a free training that will expand your awareness of maternal mental health and share helpful resources and tools that can prepare you to support pregnant and postpartum women.

In this training, you will learn:  

• About mental health disorders that commonly occur in pregnant and postpartum women

• How to enhance quality of care and improve healthcare outcomes for perinatal women who experience depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns

• Protective factors, risk factors, and treatment options, including HMHB’s Circle of Moms  support groups
