she referred to postpartum depression as just postpartum, which misses the huge nuance that all women will go through changes in the postpartum period that will be difficult but postpartum does not equate depression

It was a bit nitty gritty for a beginner course and while I very much appreciate the neuroscience, I think there was a little bit too much detail for a beginner course. I love learning about the neuroanatomy but as far as just delving into treatment and understanding how to address post partum evals, I'm not sure all that is necessary. (coming from an OT who is post partum and has 5 young kids!!)

I was so excited to see an OT addressing this valid and much needed practice area with the new-mother population! She provided plenty of neuroscience, while making it practical and easy to get the main points - PPD is neuro-physiologically different than other forms of depression. There are many other aspects to the peri-natal/post-partum that can be benefited by OT intervention beyond PP depression. But she really did show the role of OT in this area. Great!

Psychosocial care and support of clients is all too often undervalued and scoffed at. Psychosocial care of pre-natal and post-partum Moms is most often overlooked or "brushed under the rug". Case in point, the startling lack of research as Pawluski points out. OT can and should play a vital role in supporting the mental well being of post-partum Moms but also in antenatal and pre-natal Moms as well. Excellent presentation.

Addressing this issue - this is an area I have not heard about in OT, nor in general. How the mother is neurologically affected after giving birth is so validating instead of the typical response that PPD is due to hormones. Her research, drive to have this recognized.

I appreciate the scenario examples of when a postpartum mother could benefit from occupational therapy. However, there was no follow up of WHAT the interventions would/could be. The participants just said “yes an OT could intervene” and then we moved on. I found this to be a missed opportunity.

I would like to see a follow up course where we dive deeper into the learning objectives. This course just brushed over them.

speaker changed slides too soon while she was still talking about previous slide, speaker's content seemed geared to non-medical practitioners rather than trained, experienced therapists, speaker offered little intervention and treatment suggestions. Reading a case study and then asking us if we though we could help the patient is not useful. Should of asked what are some methods for addressing the patient's concerns.

Did not delve into the topic as much as I was hoping for. I feel like we could've covered more ground in a 1-hour session. The polls felt like they weren't a good use of time -- questions such as "Is OT a good fit for this person?" seems like a no-brainer...especially when the course is being offered to a group of OT's. Of course our answer is always going to be yes. I would've loved to hear more about the variety of ways in which OT's can get involved in this work.

I am an OT by training, but have been practicing as a FertilityCare Practitioner recently. Much of my role as an educator and supporter of women's health and fertility and the emotions that go with journey towards parenthood (especially infertility) feels 'right' because of my OT degree as well. I was very affirmed that my roles overlap and I can offer my clients a greater level of service and care due to my background in OT. This course affirmed that it is appropriate to help new moms in ways that may stretch beyond the standardized forms in my fertilitycare training to help them reach superior role satisfaction as a mom. I liked the studies and references too. Many of my clients have low progesterone before conception and so the risk of PPD is much higher in these women too. I plan to email the presenter and offer some additional research from the leading reproductive institute in the nation with specific protocols to help women identify and treat PPD. I look forward to networking with her.
