Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD) are becoming increasingly prevalent amongst those on their journey towards and throughout parenthood, and it is likely that you will encounter someone at this transitional time of life during your clinical practice. Throughout this training you will be provided education on how to recognize symptoms of PMADs including differentiating between various perinatal disorders. Risk factors, protective factors, and a common screening tool will be reviewed. You’ll learn how to effectively treat some of the more common PMAD symptoms with evidence-based therapeutic modalities.
This training is designed for social workers, including graduate students, post-graduate students or professionals of any level who are looking to increase their knowledge and confidence when identifying and treating PMADs in a therapeutic setting.
