Women can experience a variety of adverse reproductive-related events and responses on the journey toward motherhood. For some, the experience of pregnancy is largely uneventful, while others confront significant challenges such as infertility, pregnancy loss, and preterm delivery/NICU admission. Fortunately, attention to perinatal mental health intervention and research is growing.
Join our presenter as she discusses psychological responses to reproductive events in childbearing women and current approaches to interdisciplinary care.
