Ethical Practice in the Perinatal and Maternal Mental Health Space
A 2-hour Ethics Training
Designed for clinical mental health providers, this engaging training equips clinicians with the knowledge and confidence to navigate ethical considerations in perinatal care with skill and cultural responsiveness. Through an in-depth examination of perinatal health in the United States, participants explore how historical, systemic, and sociocultural forces—including racism and patriarchy—shape client experiences and clinical decision-making. Expert-led instruction, interactive discussion, and guided reflection support the practical application of cultural humility, ethical evaluation, and inclusive care strategies. Participants also gain tools to recognize and address compassion fatigue, strengthening both clinical effectiveness and professional sustainability when working with perinatal populations.
Learning Objectives:
Demonstrate increased knowledge of the history of perinatal health in the United States, including intersections with racism and patriarchy.
Critically examine their own privilege and utilize a framework of cultural humility when working with clients.
Recognize signs of compassion fatigue and utilize strategies for support and self-care.
AASECT CKA:
A. Ethics and ethical behavior.
C. Socio-cultural, familial factors (e.g., ethnicity, culture, religion, spirituality, socioeconomic status, family values) in relation to sexual values and behaviors.
H. Health/medical factors that may influence sexuality including, but not limited to, illness, disability, drugs, mental health, conception, pregnancy, childbirth, pregnancy termination, contraception, fertility, HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infection, other infections, sexual trauma, injury and safer sex practices.
