Introduction to Perinatal Mental Health

Description:
The field of perinatal mental health is evolving as society recognizes the impact of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum on a person's wellbeing. During this training, participants will hear about the prevalence of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders as well as considerations for assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. This training is designed to increase awareness of the general practitioner and provide practical guidance to implement the knowledge into daily practice.

This training is part of the Social Work Clinical Grand Rounds - a training series organized by Central Office at the Office of Behavioral Health for Social Workers across NYC Health + Hospitals. The Grand Rounds will cover a diverse range of topics reflective of current best practices in the field of Social Work. The goal of the Grand Rounds is to increase Social Workers' competency while strengthening their impact in clinical practice. Participants will learn skills they can utilize directly with patients. This training is open to all disciplines. CEs will be available for Social Workers and Creative Arts Therapists; all other disciplines will receive a certificate of attendance.
