The Training Institute by Nurturing Mamas Network
Perinatal Mental Health Trainings, Resources and Learning Opportunities for Behavioral Health Professionals and Social Workers.
Hi, I’m Felicia Hurst M.S., LPC-S, PMH-C, the founder of the training institute. For the last decade I have been passionate about increasing my knowledge to best serve the perinatal and maternal mental health populations; I have spent hundreds of hours reading, attending mentoring sessions, and completing advanced courses specific to perinatal mental health. Over the several years I have received amazing feedback on my time spent mentoring and training other professionals and I even had the privilege of being one of the first named “subject matter experts” from Postpartum Support International.
It is my mission, and the mission of The Training Institute, to bring you valuable trainings, by well trained and knowledgeable professionals, that enhance your knowledge and ignite your passion! We are so proud to be the training establishment that you come to again and again to increase your knowledge in perinatal mental health.
If this is your first time here, Welcome and we look forward to seeing you soon!
You will find that we offer Both “Virtual Live” and “Pre-recorded” Training Options.
Note: Recordings are available for those who are unable to attend “Live”. Recorded sessions count for continuing education for maintaining the PMH-C but not for the advanced track to obtain the PMH-C or for NBCC continuing education. A link to access the recorded training will be sent to the email provided through the purchase if you purchase a pre-recorded option. A link to the presentation and your handouts will be sent to the email provided through the purchase if you purchase the live option.
Live trainings are interactive and participants are required to have their camera on in order to receive a certificate of completion. Thank you for your understanding!

Complaints
Nurturing Mamas Network always strives to conduct events, create materials, and provide services according to the codes of ethics and rules of conduct of the professional organizations that empower us to approve and sponsor our continuing education events. NMN will comply with all legal and ethical responsibilities to be non-discriminatory in promotional activities, CE program and materials content, and in the treatment of those who attend our programs and use our materials.

If you have a complaint about a presenter, a staff member, provided facilities, or the company as a whole, please follow this procedure:
1. If the complaint is regarding a person, please be prepared to describe them or name them, so that we can be sure to keep your complaint anonymous and take action to correct their future behavior.
2. Where to submit your complaint:
• At an onsite event, you may give your complaint to any staff member you feel safe giving it to (either verbally or in writing.) We guarantee your identity will be kept anonymous, unless you explicitly ask otherwise. If you need follow up, please provide your contact information.
• If you wish to submit your complaint by email, please indicate in the subject line that you are submitting a complaint or grievance. Send it to felicia@nurturingmamasnetwork.com, where it will be received by an office staff member who will keep your identity anonymous, unless you explicitly ask otherwise. If your complaint is about the behavior of office staff, and you wish your identity be kept anonymous from them, please send it to felicia@nurturingmamasnetwork.com .
3. In your complaint, please specify what the source of the complaint was and if there is anything you need us to do to rectify or make up for the problem. While we can’t guarantee that we can always comply with specified requests, these kinds of measures are examples of ways we can fix or make up for the problem: changes to facilities that are within our control, supplying alternate materials that better accommodate specific disabilities, a refund on services, changes to the materials that are the source of the complaint, an apology, simply informing the offending party that they need to change their behavior. Please see our note below about refunds.
4. Please let us know if you need a response to your complaint. While it is difficult to put a time guarantee on our response to a wide variety of possible complaints, we will endeavor to resolve it as quickly as possible. If it is determined that a refund is appropriate, we will ensure that the refund is initiated within 2 business days of the determination.
5. Once your complaint is submitted, we will respond as quickly as possible. We guarantee a response, using the contact information you provide, within 2 business days.
Regardless of what we do to fix it or make it up to you, we will also use your complaint as part of our ongoing process of improving services and facilities.
Complaints and Grievances are addressed by NMN Director, Felicia Hurst M.S., LPC-S, PMH-C and Social Work Consultant Stephanie Pearce LCSW, PMH-C, CGP.
