Florida's Annual Perinatal Mental Health Conference
2020 will serve as Florida's 5th year providing additional training and continuing education for various professions serving perinatal women and families. This year we are going VIRTUAL! The conference was born from the efforts of the Alachua County Perinatal Mental Health Coalition (ACPMHC) to provide much needed education and training opportunities for providers who desired to learn more about caring for the emotional health of those they serve. The ACPMHC then joined efforts with other groups across the state in a collaborative effort to educate Florida providers.
PSI offers both in person and online certificate training opportunities. Find out more HERE.
