I appreciate the option to have access for months. I am enjoying watching through the content on my own and having that flexibility! The speakers and topics presented are incredibly helpful. As a maternal mental health therapist I am finding such helpful information and a broader sense of community within this speciality.
Such thoughtful content shared in the conference
Although I have been a mental health therapist for seven years, I am new to the field of perinatal mental health and I am a new mother. There was an abundance of information that I can apply to my personal life and my clinical work with clients. I also found the experiential session to be very grounding and beneficial.
I appreciated the diversity of presenters & speakers
I'm so grateful I got to attend. As a social worker I really appreciated the sensitivity to systemic factors impacting perinatal care. This conference inspired me to keep learning and growing in this area of expertise. I've already shared so much of what I learned with clients this week!
The information and topics included were AMAZING
There was so much to choose from, and such variety also. I learned so much, and also felt so validated in what I already know about perinatal mental health. I took away lots of new information and tools to use with my clients. I also found a lot of value in the sensitively wired families presentation as well as the birth trauma one.
I found great value in all seminars & presentations
The hour sessions felt like the perfect amount of time to take in so much new information, without loosing attention. I LOVED the variety of speakers and the different perspectives that was brought.
I really appreciate the time length of each presentation
I was so impressed by the diversity of topics discussed and the sheer volume of sessions, mini sessions, interviews, etc.
There was information for every area of perinatal care

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.
