Adoption and Perinatal Mental Health

Join Maternal Mental Health NOW for an insightful event featuring Joy Lieberthal Rho, who will share her clinical and lived experience working with international adoptees as they navigate parenthood. Understanding that adoption adds complexity to all life milestones, becoming biological parents presents particular challenges and needs for intervention and awareness. Attendees will learn to identify three specific perinatal mental health challenges for new adoptee parents, and discuss how attachment, bonding, abandonment, and control impact the postpartum experience.
