Trauma Informed Care in the Perinatal Period

Birth is an unpredictable thing, and we have to be prepared for every situation. A traumatic birth can scar a parent for life. It leads to increased rates of postpartum depression and can lessen a lifetime bond with the baby. As midwives,one of the best things we can do for our clients is be trauma-informed and know how to care for them when things don’t go as planned.

In this crucial course, we’ll talk all about why birth trauma happens and what we can do about it. We’ll break down the neurobiology of trauma and discuss how we can help our clients heal. You’ll learn about the different needs that could arise from traumatic birth experiences. We’ll also take the time to discuss how to care for providers after we ourselves have witnessed these moments.

Remember, even the most low-risk, textbook births can have a traumatic outcome, and we need to know how we can best help our clients recover. This is one of the most important topics you can learn for your practice. The course features nearly three hours of beneficial information taught by Dr. Jill Chasse, a professional who has spent over 20 years studying psychology. Our goal is to ensure you feel confident in assisting your clients and yourself when things go wrong.
