May You Be Held with Love and Care: Perinatal Mental Health for Latine and Immigrant Families

This training is open to WA state professionals who work with perinatal families in WA state. 

Culturally Responsive and Community-Centered Approaches for Supporting Birthing Parents, Infants, and Families.

Perinatal mental health is deeply connected to the well-being of birthing parents, infants, partners, and families. Latine and immigrant communities bring with them unique strengths and cultural values that are often dismissed or silenced by systemic barriers, and these experiences can shape how perinatal mental health is experienced and supported.

This training will explore perinatal mental health through the lens of Latine and immigrant family experiences, highlighting cultural beliefs, community traditions, possible stigma in the community, and structural barriers that may impact access to care. A particular focus will be placed on elevating indigenous practices that have supported and nurtured birthing parents, leading to healing and positive outcomes. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how migration, family separation, economic stressors, discrimination, and language barriers can influence mental health during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
