Professional Development

As specialists in perinatal mental health, we are frequently asked about how to get involved in this line of work. What to focus on? What is helpful to know? What clinical tools are useful? What therapies are recommended? 

Where do I start, and what else can I learn? 

This stage of life is so important to forming the bedrock of a family's wellbeing. Getting it right, and managing the many demands experienced by new families, is an incredibly rewarding line of work.

This series is designed to help clinicians new to the field. It's your "Starter Pack" - providing all the practical things you need to know to begin that road to becoming a confident and competent perinatal mental health practitioner. 

Your host for these workshops is Clinical Psychologist Dr. Rachel Bushing, the Director of POP! Psychology and Three Little Birds Perinatal Psychology, based in Brisbane, Australia. Rach has over 20 years experience working with kids, teens, and families, and has spent the last 5 years developing her skills and knowledge in perinatal mental health. 

This interactive workshop series canvasses the basics of:
- INTAKE TOOLS AND SKILLS
- CLINICAL FORMULATION
- ASSESSMENT & EVALUATION
- EVIDENCE BASED TREATMENT APPROACHES

And explores these concepts across the stages of the perinatal experience, from:
- PRE-CONCEPTION
- PREGNANCY
- BIRTH, and
- POSTNATAL

At only $55 per workshop, or upfront $350 for the series, we are looking forward to welcoming you but will limit numbers to a small group workshop for that team-like feel, offering plenty of opportunity to ask all of the questions.
