Perinatal depression is one of the most common complications of pregnancy and the postpartum period. It can occur any time during pregnancy or within the 12 months after childbirth. The good news is that with screening and referrals for care, perinatal depression can be prevented and treated. In this webinar, we’re learning strategies to help all birthing parents access effective mental health care. The webinar addresses the unique needs of specific birthing people, such as LGBTQI+ people, indigenous people, immigrants, and refugees, who may benefit from specialized or tailored mental health resources during and after pregnancy.

This webinar is offered with simultaneous interpretation in Spanish.
