This session introduces birthworkers to the foundations of perinatal mental health\, including the spectrum of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs)\, common risk factors\, and their impact on families. Participants will explore how birthworkers can recognize signs\, respond with compassion\, and connect families with appropriate support while staying within their scope of practice. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDefine perinatal mental health and describe the spectrum of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs).\nIdentify common risk factors and cultural considerations that influence perinatal mental health.\nRecognize early signs and symptoms of perinatal mental health challenges in clients.\nDiscuss the role of birthworkers in supporting families\, including boundaries and referral pathways.\nApply trauma-informed and culturally responsive approaches when engaging with clients experiencing perinatal mental health concerns.\n\nInformed Doula Care for Families with Substance Use\nDate: February 5th\nPresenter: Ash Woods \nProvide informed compassionate care for families with substance use in the perinatal period. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nWA state programs to support pregnant and parenting people with substance use\nBirth\, postpartum\, and bereavement considerations\nTrauma aware and informed care\nProvider information on substance use in pregnancy\, medications\, and options\nLegal options\, CPS/DCYF involvement\, and safe care plans\nHarm reduction and naloxone training\nSetting boundaries and care for the doula\n\nSupporting Families through Perinatal and Infant Loss\nDate: February 12th\nPresenter: Marquita Straus\, MSW\, LICSW \nThe loss of a baby during pregnancy\, birth\, or infancy is one of the most profoundly heartbreaking experiences a family can face. For birthworkers\, supporting families through loss requires compassion\, sensitivity\, and an understanding of both the emotional and cultural dimensions of grief. This session provides an overview of perinatal and infant loss\, including medical and social considerations\, grief expressions\, and the birthworker’s role in creating supportive\, affirming care. Participants will gain tools for navigating difficult conversations\, supporting memory-making\, and connecting families to ongoing resources. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDefine and differentiate types of perinatal and infant loss (miscarriage\, stillbirth\, neonatal death\, SIDS\, etc.).\nRecognize the emotional\, psychological\, and cultural impacts of perinatal and infant loss on individuals and families.\nIdentify common grief responses and understand how they may differ across cultural\, spiritual\, and familial contexts.\nApply trauma-informed and culturally responsive strategies when working with grieving families\, providing compassionate presence\, memory-making support\, and referrals to bereavement resources.\n\nIntro to The Impacts of Sexual Trauma on the Perinatal Period\nDate: February 19th\nPresenter: Selena Shelley\, MA\, LMHC\, CD\, LCCE \nGiven the prevalence of childhood sexual abuse and sexual assault in this country/world and the impacts that sexual trauma has on the perinatal period\, it is imperative that professionals working with pregnant\, birthing\, and postpartum people better understand how to support and work with trauma survivors. Join us to learn more about the potential impacts of sexual trauma on your clients\, and how to ensure you are providing truly trauma-informed care in your practice. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nChildhood Trauma & ACEs\nChildhood Sexual Abuse & Sexual Assault – Definitions & Prevalence\nCommon Physical/Somatic Impacts of Sexual Trauma on the Perinatal Period\nCommon Psychosocial Impacts of Sexual Trauma on the Perinatal Period\nCommon Mental/Emotional Impacts of Sexual Trauma on the Perinatal Period\nHow to Support Your Clients\nHow to Support Your Self\n\nHow to Inquire and/or Respond to a Disclosure\nDate: February 26th\nPresenter: Selena Shelley\, MA\, LMHC\, CD\, LCCE \nAn important component of providing trauma-informed care to your clients is learning whether and how to inquire about their sexual trauma history\, and how to respond to a client who discloses a history of sexual trauma to you. You may be surprised what you learn about the inquiry and disclosure process during this training and how that impacts your practice moving forward. In order to get the most out of this training\, participants will ideally have attended the Impacts of Sexual Trauma on the Perinatal Period training offered on February 19th. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nListening to Your Intuition\nWhy We Want to Know\nHow Inquiry May Be Received by Clients\nWe Can Do Better\nResponding to a Disclosure\nRole Play/Practice\n\nREGISTER NOW\nAbout the Presenters: \nMarquita Straus\, MSW\, LICSW is a Perinatal Grief & Trauma Therapist\, Death Doula\, and founder of Imani’s Light Grief & Wellness Center.
