This certificate program is designed to introduce health providers and behavioral health consultants to recent scientific and evidence-based information that can be shared in Integrated Behavioral Health and Primary Care Behavioral Health settings with the goal of improving client access to perinatal health promotion and wellness practices. Behavioral Health provides the context and tradition of providing healthcare that assures increased access to care in primary care and in Behavioral Health settings and a focus on pragmatic interventions that improve day to day functioning. This information will be inspiring and we will include behavioral health applications-- instruction and interventions that can be taught and implemented in short behavioral health sessions by Behavioral Health Consultants during preconception, prenatal, and post delivery, and neonatal/pediatric heath care office visits.
These are powerful, simple, activities that the perinatal client and family can use to create foundational attitudes and behaviors that will work toward health promotion and prevention of perinatal biological, emotional, psychological, and birth trauma. It provides a supportive matrix of healthy habits and activities that will help to create a positive healthy pregnancy, birth, and post-natal experience for the prenate and the mother and family. It is a proactive, positive, encouraging, health promoting program of activities that we hope will contribute to improved satisfaction with perinatal health care, improved maternal and family preparation for pregnancy and birth, improved emotional and psychological adjustment to pregnancy and birth, less fear and painful birth experiences, and overall better perinatal outcomes.
Each Module will have Behavioral Health Applications, Handouts for Professionals for themselves and for application with patients.
