January 2025 Cohort is Now Open For Enrolment!

Are you working with mothers, partners and parents in the transition to parenthood? Or would you like to? There is such a desperate need for specially trained providers who can support individuals and couples within the perinatal period (including fertility, pregnancy, loss, birth trauma, postnatal challenges and becoming a parent). No previous perinatal experience needed.

The Perinatal Mental Health Institute is delighted to offer a 10 month, 30 CPD, online training provides comprehensive learning around the entire perinatal period. Following completion of the course learners will be able to demonstrate a clear and confident understanding of:

• Healthy Matrescence (transition to motherhood)
• Scope of the perinatal period, its distinct stages and their challenges
• Prevalence, risk factors, symptoms and common presentations of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs)
• Mental health challenges associated with fertility and the impact of these challenges on mental health outcomes.
• Grief and loss within the perinatal period and its impact during and after the loss, as well as on subsequent pregnancies.
• Mental health challenges associated with experiencing perinatal trauma such as traumatic birth, loss, NICU stays or infant/maternal physical health complications.
• Impact of PMADs on the parental relationship and family dynamic within the early development years and beyond.
• Identification of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders and their symptoms.
• Utilizing evidence-based screening tools and assessments
• Ability to conduct differential diagnosis between distinct Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders
• Skills and techniques to provide empathetic and evidence-based support for challenges specific to the perinatal period.
• Ability to identify crisis situations and to respond appropriately to support the health and safety of mother and baby; including reporting requirements.
• Application of learned skills through peer consultation and case studies.

This course has been internationally recognized for 30 CDP credits through the CPD Standards Office and is an approved advanced training with Postpartum Support International
