About the Event
This installment of the PeriPAN Webinar Series is “Understanding Trauma and PTSD in the Perinatal Population.”
Register to attend.
Maternal and child mental health are closely linked, especially during the perinatal period. In Texas, one in five new mothers may experience mental health challenges which are one of the leading causes of preventable maternal mortality within the first year of giving birth.
The state-funded Perinatal Psychiatry Access Network (PeriPAN) offers free perinatal psychiatry consultation and education to health clinicians who interact with new mothers and mothers to be. Join us for free webinars on perinatal mental health. Participants can expect engaging discussions on evidence-based practice and care. Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and the PeriPAN program are pleased to provide free CME credits for participants.
