Submit a Proposal 👉 https://bit.ly/3wVVTJ3
We'd love for you to join us as a speaker for the 3rd Annual Perinatal Mental Health Symposium. We aim to bring together a multi-disciplinary group of attendees and speakers to learn together, share ideas, and increase our ability to better serve pregnant and postpartum people in our community.
This year’s theme is “Trauma and Healing”. We want to increase awareness of the trauma experienced by people during the perinatal period as well as the unique and innovative prevention and treatment efforts occurring in the DMV.
The event will be held virtually on November 8, 2021. To be considered as a speaker for the symposium, please submit a proposal by July 10, 2021.

Looking for a way to make perinatal mental health more accessible? Here it is....
We hear you, you’re tired and you want a safe place to vent or you’re looking for ways to be active in the movement. Help us support those that are protesting and birthing Black lives by helping us provide the gift of free counseling by making a donation.
We are fortunate to have a huge range of Black perinatal providers in the DMV. I am lucky to work and learn alongside these folks. Check out comments below for a sample of providers and agencies I refer to.
