Now what? With so many conversations about implicit bias, how do we take what we’ve learned, address the implicit bias we all carry, and use this knowledge to provide respectful, equitable care for all patients? Join us for a candid conversation tackling topics from the unique family to creating a culture of inclusion.

Infant adoption arrangements have changed immensely over the past decades. Understanding the complex emotions and dynamics is essential in providing care to all parties involved. Learn how to utilize the “dual family care” model to implement a patient-centered approach that acknowledges grief, as well as offers tools to empower patients and families post-delivery.

With a high percentage of patients having significant trauma history and often experiencing daily toxic stress, it is essential for healthcare professionals to implement trauma-aware patient care, regardless of disclosure. We will explore brain science and the impact of trauma, and will discuss trauma-aware practice to implement within the healthcare setting, as well as within the NICU dynamic.

Stigma and bias are pervasive in U.S. obstetric care and disproportionately harm marginalized birthing people. These biases are reflected in language, broadly defined as written documentation, oral language, and behaviors that communicate messages. Language that is stigmatizing or reflects bias can harm pregnant people. This webinar is created to inform and educate nurses on how to recognize stigmatizing language and to eliminate them in our interactions with patients.

This module explores the significant challenges posed by perinatal mental illness, including depression, anxiety, and postpartum psychosis. Despite its impact on maternal and familial well-being, it often goes undiagnosed or untreated. Standardized screening from pre-pregnancy to postpartum is essential for effective symptom monitoring and treatment. Equitable access to care—from pre-pregnancy to postpartum—is also vital for addressing these concerns.

The Unique Families Program®️ provides scaffolding around the care of multiple unique patient populations within Maternal Healthcare. We will discuss the importance of modifying policy, process and procedure to reflect the needs of your community’s unique patient population – as well as consider the importance of reaching these families through community collaboration.
