Beyond Depression: Perinatal Mental Health, Symptom Screening, and the Doula's Key Role with Dr. Sara Moyer

Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) are the most common complications of pregnancy and postpartum, yet they often go unrecognized. In this keynote session, Dr. Sara Moyer will examine the evolving landscape of perinatal mental health and introduce the Perinatal Mental Health Screenings Toolkit, including the recently updated EPDS-US screening tool and PMH Connect resource/information sheet.

Learn how this critical screening tool is being refined to better identify those at risk, and explore the role of birth and postpartum professionals in fostering person-centered  education, early detection, intervention, and meaningful support for families.

After the keynote, Dr. Moyer will facilitate a concurrent session where doulas can dive deeper and practice using the tools discussed in the keynote.
