SUMMARY:Supporting Autistic Parents During the Perinatal Period from a Neurodivergent Affirming Lens Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, May 8\, 2024 \nTime: 10am-11:30am PST \nCost: FREE \nLocation: Zoom \nPresenter: Jane Kosloff\, LICSW\, PMH-C \nWith the increasing knowledge available around the range of autistic experiences\, more adults have been learning that they are autistic in recent years. Most support strategies for people in pregnancy and early parenthood have been designed with neurotypical (non neurodivergent) parents in mind\, which makes it harder to find neuro-inclusive support at a pivotal phase of life. \nThis webinar focuses on the lived experiences of autistic individuals in pregnancy and early parenthood. By building a better understanding of the needs of autistic parents\, perinatal professionals will be better prepared to offer care that’s more inclusive and supportive. \nREGISTER NOW\nThis webinar does not provide any Continuing Education Units (CEUs). \nThis webinar will be recorded and available on the Perinatal Support WA webinar page.  If you cannot attend in person\, you do not need to register.  Recording will be uploaded approximately 1 month after the training. \nThis free webinar is available to anyone working with families during the perinatal period and is offered by Perinatal Support WA through a grant from Strengthening Families Washington at the Department of Children\, Youth\, and Families (DCYF). \nJane Kosloff\, LICSW\, PMH-C is a neurodivergent therapist in private practice in Mountlake Terrace and virtually in Washington State. Jane began her career in community mental health and has worked in primary care settings as a behavioral health consultant and a social work clinical supervisor. Jane’s clinical interests include perinatal anxiety\, OCD\, trauma and supporting neurodivergent clients. Jane is an instructor at the Touchstone Institute and teaches on neurodivergent affirming care and perinatal mental health.

SUMMARY:Beyond the 4th Trimester Webinar
DESCRIPTION:With an understanding that birth is a moment and postpartum is forever\, Whole Body Pregnancy owner and founder\, Erika Davis\, will lead a discussion on the importance of extended postpartum care for birthing people. If you are part of the village supporting people in their reproductive journey\, join Erika for the free webinar\, Beyond the 4th Trimester on May 21\, 2024\, and take part in the conversation on the importance of extended postpartum care for birthing people. \n  \nDate: Tuesday\, May 21\, 2024 \nTime: 9:30am-11am PST \nCost: FREE \nLocation: Zoom \nPresenter: Erika Davis \nREGISTER NOW\nThis webinar does not provide any Continuing Education Units (CEUs). \nThis webinar will be recorded and available on the Perinatal Support WA webinar page.  If you cannot attend in person\, you do not need to register.  Recording will be uploaded approximately 1 month after the training. \nThis free webinar is available to anyone working with families during the perinatal period and is offered by Perinatal Support WA through a grant from Strengthening Families Washington at the Department of Children\, Youth\, and Families (DCYF). \nHi\, I’m Erika Davis\, the owner and founder of Whole Body Pregnancy. From where I sit\, I believe that the reproductive journey is one that needs space\, time\, love\, and attention. The journey to get pregnant (losses and fertility journey)\, pregnancy\, birth\, and postpartum are interconnected markers on a long and never-ending path. When I say\, “birth is a moment\, postpartum is forever” I mean it. It is vital that we not only care for babies\, but that we spend more time\, care\, energy\, and effort caring for the people who birthed them.
