While motherhood is culturally perceived as a ‘happy’ period in life, there are several mental health conditions that may present during pregnancy and postpartum. These are identified under the term Perinatal Mood and Anxiety disorders (PMADs). Up to 1 in 5 women will suffer from a mental health disorder like postpartum depression and less than 15% will receive treatment. Given the social determinants of health affecting Latinx, they may be at a higher risk for developing symptoms. PMADs have an adverse effect on mothers, fathers/partners, mother-infant interactions, and infant outcomes, which makes early detection and treatment essential for the overall well-being of families.

Goals and Objectives

1. Introduce and define concepts related to perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs).

2. Discuss the importance of increasing awareness of PMADs in general public and mental health professionals.

3. Provide resources for clinicians and other mental health service providers that might be helpful in the provision of culturally responsive mental health services during the perinatal period.

Who should attend?  This is an introductory basic level webinar designed for mental health providers including psychologists, clinical social workers, mental health counselors, and graduate level students in the mental health field who are interested in learning about the vulnerabilities and uniqueness of this period.
