Perinatal mental health conditions and concerns are common in all women, and the majority do not receive treatment. We know that education and screening for perinatal mental health concerns can save lives. Unfortunately, screenings are not done consistently. This webinar highlights ways for Head Start programs to improve perinatal mental health education, screening, and referral practices for pregnant and postpartum women up to a year after birth.
This webinar is offered with simultaneous interpretation in Spanish.
