Perinatal Anxiety & Mental Health Emergencies for Doulas

This 2-hour online training helps birth and postpartum doulas recognize the signs of perinatal anxiety disorders, including postpartum PTSD, postpartum OCD, and perinatal anxiety. We will also cover postpartum psychosis and how to respond when a mental health concern may be urgent or emergent.

Attendees will learn practical ways to support families with compassion, stay within the doula role, and make appropriate referrals to mental health professionals and emergency resources when needed. This course is valuable for doulas who want to deepen their confidence, strengthen client safety, and better serve families navigating the emotional challenges of pregnancy and postpartum.
