We had our holiday social gathering at Unit Chair Kian Jacobs' house, Saturday, December 7, 2019. It was a potluck dinner and we had fun with Secret Santa's gift giving.
January 29 we will hold a 2-CE workshop: Maternal Depression and How it Informs Practice, presented by Erin Orjuela, LCSW & Kian Jacobs, LCSW. According to a 2016 article: Social Workers’ Screening Practices for Postpartum Depression in Advances in Social Work, “The Affordable Care Act specifies mothers living with postpartum depression (PPD) are a group in need of services. Although mothers with PPD prefer to receive services from social workers than from professionals from other disciplines, limited research has addressed where social workers learn how to screen for PPD, the instruments they use, in what contexts they screen, and at what point during the perinatal period they screen mothers.“ Read the full article: https://doi.org/10.18060/21008
