Perinatal Training for Mental Health Providers
Postpartum Support International - Wyoming is offering scholarships for perinatal mental health training to providers serving Wyoming residents. This specialized training fills a critical gap, preparing you to support clients through pregnancy, postpartum and early parenting.
With a shortage of perinatal mental health providers in Wyoming, this training positions you to serve families actively seeking support. Scholarship funding significantly reduces training costs, and you can choose from in-person, 2-day live virtual, or on-demand formats.
Bonus: scholarship funds are also available for those pursuing full PMH-C certification, covering advanced training and exam costs.
4th Trimester Buddy Program
Every new mom deserves a buddy. Launching Summer 2027.
The first three months after a baby arrives can be one of the loneliest and overwhelming times of your life. The meal train ends. Your partner goes back to work. Adjusting to a healing body, time schedules and wondering what is "normal".
Buddies are trained volunteers, moms with lived experience, not professionals and that is on purpose. Sometimes what helps the most is not going to an appointment, but someone who has been exactly where you are and can say, "yes, that happened to me too."
