Purchase for $150Understand the complex experiences around teen parenthood
Pregnant and parenting adolescents experience mental health conditions, including depression, over three times the rate of older mothers. They also struggle with the dual stigmas of teen parenthood and mental illness. Through case studies, clinical tools, and evidence-based strategies, this course prepares providers to meet adolescents where they are—offering the support, respect, and care they need during one of the most critical transitions in their lives.
What Our Students Are Saying
"This course is highly insightful. I loved how all of the concepts integrated well to provide better service to perinatal teenage clients but can also extend to understanding and treating other clients."
- Wanda, Certified Counselor
