Promoting Maternal Mental Health

This training focuses on deepening understanding of maternal mental and emotional health during pregnancy to create a healthier lifelong mother-child relationship. A mother's mental well-being in pregnancy directly shapes her relationship with her infant and this relationship significantly affects the child's quality of life long-term. Supporting maternal mental health increases the likelihood of a healthier bond. Topics covered will include:

• High-risk pregnancies
• Unresolved grief or loss
• Typical pregnancy experiences
• Domestic violence
• Depression and mental health concerns
