Information
Untreated perinatal mood disorders (PMADS) are the number one complication of pregnancy AND research shows 1 in 5 birthing people and 1 in 10 men experience PMADS.  

Join Marni Low , LMFT, PMH-C for a 4 hour in-depth virtual workshop focused on Perinatal Mood Disorders. Marni will discuss the different perinatal mood disorders and how they can present throughout the entire reproductive period, from thinking about becoming pregnant through the first year postpartum. Marni will discuss the differences between Baby Blues and PMADS as well as talk about transition into parenthood and how previous loss, birth trauma, reproductive story may play a role in the onset of a perinatal mood disorder. As birth workers you are in a unique and intimate position of being with the birthing person throughout their pregnancy, often before they are even seen by an OB/midwife. This workshop will give you insight and deeper understanding how perinatal mood disorders may show up, what to look for and how to provide adequate support throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Research also shows that PMADS, when treated appropriately, has the best outcome for both parent and baby.  

Marni offers a sliding scale of $199 - $399 to attend this training. Please be considerate of your own personal financial situation and privileges when choosing your ticket option.

*For CHB Doula students, this class counts as a continuing education class towards birth and postpartum certification.

We’re unable to offer refunds except in the rare case that you are called to support a family. We understand the unpredictability of birth work and want to honor that commitment.

"Thank you so much for such an informative training. It was wonderful to sit in community with you and diver deeper into PMADs. I appreciate all that you’ve shared. As a birth Doula in training and perinatal fitness specialist, I’m very happy to be in contact and have the option to potentially lean on you if or when in need!"

"Wanted to send a note of appreciation for the terrific PMADs class you led through CHB last Saturday. It's a testament to the intersection of strong teaching x strong passion to do virtual learning for half a day and feel both truly fulfilled and energized from the experience.”
