This presentation will apply a trauma-informed lens to understanding how cycles of violence and psychiatric vulnerability affect pregnancy and early parenting. Recent research shows how exposure to trauma and reactions to such exposures imparts risk for adverse outcomes for mothers and babies. Fortunately, evidence is also emerging showing how trauma-informed interventions can disrupt these cycles. We will use a combination of lecture and hands-on exploration of case examples to depict ways to break cycles of abuse and vulnerability.
Learning Objectives:
• Examine recent research demonstrating risk for trauma, posttraumatic stress, and depression for pregnant women;
• Examine recent research outlining risk for outcomes like prematurity and impaired mother/baby bonding;
• Identify key components of trauma-informed and trauma-specific perinatal interventions with promise for disrupting cycles of abuse and psychiatric vulnerability;
• Apply these key intervention components to case examples of women experiencing traumatic reactions during the childbearing year.
