The training includes simple psychotherapeutic skills for supporting clients with hormone-related distress and guidance on appropriate referral pathways.
This training blends neuroscience, clinical insight, and psychotherapeutic skills reflection, aiming to enhance participants' confidence in understanding and working with hormonal influences in perinatal mental health.
