Expert Knowledge PLUS Doula Support

Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) are the number one complication of the perinatal period. Those who work closely with families during pregnancy and postpartum are in a unique position to recognize and support families who are struggling with a PMAD. Most courses and training programs available on PMADs are geared toward those in clinical or medical settings. Some of the information can be helpful for those in non-clinical or non-medical roles, but it leaves the professional to navigate how it applies in their chosen profession and how to stay within their standards of practice. This course changes that! The expert-delivered prerequisite information is presented with doulas in mind, and the course content is specific to implementing this information in the context of working with families as doulas, educators, or other related professionals.
