What Do People Say About PMHI?
Obviously we think our training is great, but don't listen to us, here is what providers who have taken our trainings are saying and PMHI trainings!
I found the training invaluable and incredibly interesting, I hadn't had much experience in perinatal mental health but having completed this training I'm definitely eager to learn more and will be looking into further educational opportunities with PMHI.
Excellent training day. Heavy topic but delivered warmly and considerately.
The training was well structured and laid out especially with having such a lot of ground to cover. Rebecca was very engaging as a teacher and there was plenty of room for open discussion.

I found it extremely interesting. It illuminated a lot of my own journey for this stage as a mother. It is such an underdeveloped topic in the mental health space, this should be part of basic training across many health professions.
