We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking conference for Black-identifying birth workers, providers and clinicians in the Los Angeles County area. The “2021 Perinatal Mental Health Conference for Black Birth Workers, Providers, and Clinicians” will take place virtually over four weeks, 4/30, 5/7, 5/14, and 5/21, from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm each day. Tickets are free to Black birth workers in the Los Angeles area and include a commitment to attend all four LIVE conference days.
Our mission is to engage Black clinicians and providers to increase the capacity and competency of the community. Our goal is that Black families will have more opportunities to find specialized perinatal providers who look like them and with whom they can relate. We will present foundational knowledge on perinatal mental health care through a culturally-informed lens. We want to assist the community in building concrete skills and tools to more adequately address the mental health needs of Black women and birthing people and aim to address this specifically within the Los Angeles County area.
