We can all work together to make a meaningful difference for families. 

Join us to gain essential tools and knowledge, and learn inclusive approaches to enhance care for families during this crucial life phase. Together, let's advance perinatal wellness.

During the perinatal period, parents usually have higher provider contact due to multiple appointments, and they also have an increased vulnerability to all mental health challenges. And so, the perinatal period is an opportune time for professionals to provide necessary support.

We believe that any professional who connects with families during this time should have additional training because what parents go through during their perinatal journey is unlike any other stage in life. 

We share the responsibility to understand the unique and nuanced mental health challenges that arise during this stage of life. 

You play a crucial role in your clients wellness, and have the opportunity to have a profound impact for years to come.
