Looking forward to the rest of the year with DCH in…
May we will have training on Trauma Informed Care with Dr. Julie Bindeman, a licensed psychologist and Co-Director of Integrative Therapy of Greater Washington.
June, July, and August we’re having what we call the Summer of Love, and focusing our Town Hall conversations on the many ways parents can be parents.
June we’ll start with a conversation about supporting LGBTQIA couples.
July we will continue with discussions about adoption and surrogacy.
August we will wrap up our Summer of Love talking about single parents/single moms by choice.
September we will conduct training in supporting people of different faiths or lack of faith, as our previous conversations on this topic have highlighted that we still have a lot to learn and ways in which we can discover our own implicit bias. Still looking for an individual to facilitate this nuanced discussion/exercise.
October, November, and December we close out the year focusing on some of the hardest parts of parenting that anyone can experience.
October is Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Infant Loss awareness month so we will be holding a town hall conversation/training on this topic.
November we will discuss PMADs, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, such as postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, and psychosis.
December we will discuss racism in health care and examine our organization’s efforts to combat the systemic racism that affects Black childbearing people in our communities.
