Content Description:

Today, women in the United States are becoming mothers later in life compared

to previous decades. More than 100,000 moms give birth each year while in their

40s – a period of life when they are likely in, or about to be in, perimenopause,

the phase of reproductive health in which women’s hormones fluctuate, their

menstrual cycle changes, and their identities shift. Perimenopause is a

particularly vulnerable time for mood symptoms, with women at twice the risk

of experiencing depression than at other life stages like pre-menopause. The

perinatal period, too, is one when women are vulnerable to mood issues, with

up to one in five experiencing a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder. So how can

therapists help women who are both perinatal and perimenopausal?

Presenter: Lauren A. Tetenbaum, LCSW, JD, PMH-C

Learning Objectives:

Participants will be able to:

1. Recognize and help their perinatal clients recognize signals of

   perimenopause and how it can impact mental health

2. Utilize one (1) or more cognitive behavioral therapy skills to alleviate symptoms and improve self-confidence, drawing upon self-compassion, mindfulness, and acceptance

   and commitment therapy (ACT)

3. Identify two (2) or more ways to support perinatal women’s self-determination while advocating for themselves with their healthcare providers, in their personal relationships, and at their workplace in connection with perimenopause.
