Supporting the Family Unit Pre-and-Postpartum

Pregnancy and the birth of a child is a exciting and celebratory time for many families. However, for approximately 20-25% of these women and their families this can be a very difficult time - especially if the mother is experiencing a Perinatal Mood or Anxiety Disorder. Also know as PMADs, these disorders are the #1 complication of pregnancy and childbirth. Perinatal Mood Anxiety Disorders can have profound adverse effects on the women, children, and their family’s mental, physical and emotional health.

Therfore, this training will provide information about what Perinatal Mood Disorders (PMADs) are, how they impact the family unit, and ways to cope/treat/gain support for PMADs as a family and for the individual.

This training will be led by Jennifer Stachowiak, LCPC, PMH-C. Jenn is certified in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International. Jennifer believes in the importance of working collaboratively with her clients and her focus is to provide support to the perinatal community, including fertility challenges.
