Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for the Perinatal Period

The COVID-19 Pandemic has seen a dramatic rise in perinatal anxiety, depression, and OCD.

New research shows that Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy can treat and prevent Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders. Join me and learn how to use this evidence-based treatment in your work!

In this two day training, there will be didactic work, role plays, and group exercises. Day 1 will be Part 1: CBT for perinatal depression, anxiety, and basic OCD. Day 2 will be a deep dive into perinatal OCD and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). We will specifically emphasize the CBT skills needed for patients struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic.
