This event will be in-person at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Glendale Campus in Denver, Colorado.
Participants will have the opportunity to livestream the forum with colleagues working in perinatal behavioral health or related areas, hear about Colorado-specific projects, network with peers, and engage in meaningful discussion to support families here in Colorado.
*This event is now full and registrants are being added to a waitlist.
Coffee, lunch and snacks will be provided.

Connecting the Dots: Maternal Mental Health and Substance Use During Pregnancy and Early Parenthood
Perinatal substance use is much more common than many of us realize. Substance misuse is a common coping strategy for people who are struggling with mental health conditions. Nationwide and in Colorado, suicide and accidental overdose are leading causes of maternal mortality, but many maternal/child health professionals feel uncomfortable and ill-equipped in knowing how to support a pregnant or parenting client who is struggling with substance use. This training is intended for those who work directly with the pregnant and newly parenting population.
In lieu of a registration fee, we are requesting that participants make a suggested donation of $25 to the Colorado Chapter of Postpartum Support International for The Birth Squad: Denver program. After registering, please make a donation here: https://postpartum.app.neoncrm.com/forms/coloradochapter. We understand that costs can be a barrier to access and so we respect this if you are unable to make a donation.
