Course Description: While pregnancy can be one of the most exciting times in a person's life, it can result in a traumatic experience. It is important for clinicians to understand the possibility of birth trauma, traumatic pregnancy losses, and infertility when working with clients and their reproductive health. Other considerations for a traumatic pregnancy include sexual assault, incest, and a history of childhood trauma. This training will discuss examples of birth and pregnancy trauma including infertility, miscarriage, still birth, and traumatic birthing experiences. We will identify how these experiences impact clients, as well as those who are currently pregnancy after a past pregnancy or birth trauma.
Participants will be able to:
- Learn how pregnancy, birth trauma, and pregnancy loss impact perinatal mental health and as potential for PTSD.
- Identify the impact of sexual assault, incest, and childhood trauma on reproductive health.
- Explore trauma informed practices for supporting this population.
