SUMMARY:Widening the Lens: A Family Systems Approach to Perinatal Mental Well-Being Webinar
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe baby is new. The family system is not. \nHaving a baby is a fundamental systemic change that impacts the entire support system. Yet\, most standard approaches to perinatal mental health isolate the birthing parent. Inadvertently\, our current healthcare models place the burden of “getting better” on the person in the family who is struggling the most. \nThis webinar invites providers to widen their lens. We will move beyond the individual to explore a family systems approach to perinatal treatment. \nWhat You Will Learn: \n\nThe Systemic Framework: Define and explore the clinical impact of family-centered care.\nCultural Competence: Examine how cultural dynamics influence family roles during the perinatal period.\nClinical Implementation: Learn and practice concrete ways to implement in your everyday practice.\nSafety & Boundaries: Discern when to actively invite the broader system into care and when to keep the focus private.\n\nDesigned For: Therapists\, doulas\, lactation consultants\, nurses\, and any health workers caring for the perinatal population. \nDate: Thursday\, June 11th \nTime: 10am-11:30am PDT \nLocation: Zoom \nCost: FREE \nFacilitator: Sumi Garg\, LMFT \nRegister Here\nThis free webinar is offered by Perinatal Support WA through a grant from Strengthening Families Washington at the Department of Children\, Youth\, and Families (DCYF). \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. \nAbout the Facilitator:\nSumi Garg\, LMFT\, is a Perinatal and Family therapist in the greater Seattle area. She spent the first part of her career in Customer Business Development at Procter and Gamble. After having her first baby\, she found mixed support in her postpartum care and decided to make a career pivot to help other new parents. During her postpartum journey she felt like a fish out of water\, struggling with PPD\, PPA\, and subclinical levels of PPOCD. Mental Health support during her journey positively impacted her relationship with her new baby and partner as well as the ability to find joy in motherhood. She is a past warm line volunteer and continues to make an impact as a PS-WA board member. When she’s not at work\, you can find her chasing after her 2 year old\, making art creations with her 6 year old\, teaching Indian dance\, and leaning into this stage of her life with her partner.
