Birth Trauma: Clinical Foundations for Mental Health Clinicians

Course overview

Birth trauma is more common than many people realize, yet many clinicians receive little training on how to recognize and respond to it in practice. This asynchronous, recorded 1.75-hour continuing education training is designed to help clinicians build confidence in assessing, conceptualizing, and supporting clients impacted by traumatic birth experiences. Participants will explore key components of the intake and assessment process, including trauma-informed interviewing, screening tools, clinical considerations, documentation, and treatment planning. The training emphasizes practical, evidence-informed strategies that clinicians can begin integrating into their work right away. Whether you are new to working with birth trauma or looking to strengthen your clinical foundation, this training provides an approachable and clinically relevant introduction to this important area of practice.
