Monk\, Ph.D\nThis session will discuss two interrelated topics and their implications for clinical intervention: (1) parents’ prenatal impact on children’s brain-behavior development and (2) parents’ own psychosocial needs during the perinatal period\, a time of immense change and neuroplasticity. Drawing on decades of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease research highlighting the prenatal beginnings of future health and new studies on the transition to parenthood describing adult development from pregnancy to early postpartum\, we will propose that\, similar to pediatrics\, the integration of new education and intervention strategies into the prenatal care ecosystem could improve child cognitive and social-emotional development as well as parental mental health. We envision an enhanced prenatal care ecosystem to promote optimal beginnings for the whole family. \nScreening and Interventions for Perinatal Mental Health with Crystal Clark\, M.D.\, M.Sc.\nThis session will educate participants and provide practical clinical information on screening and interventions in perinatal mental health. In this session\, the most evidence-based tools for screening depression and anxiety\, and when best to complete screening will be discussed. Additionally\, attendees will gain insights into both standard and novel treatment approaches\, including culturally sensitive strategies to enhance patient care. \n  \nSupporting Families: Building Community-Based Networks with Nneka Symister\, LCSW\nThis session will explore the critical role that community-driven initiatives play in preventing maternal suicide and supporting families facing maternal mental health challenges. The presentation will provide an in-depth look at how localized networks—composed of healthcare professionals\, mental health providers\, social workers\, faith-based organizations\, and community members—can effectively collaborate to create safe and supportive environments for families. The session will highlight key stakeholders in community health\, share strategies for engaging families in these networks\, and offer tools for implementing evidence-based\, sustainable approaches that empower families. \nLearning Outcome: Upon completion of the program\, 85% of learners will report intent to incorporate information presented into their professional practice. \nDisclosure/Commercial Support: The planners and speakers do not have any conflicts of interest to report for this activity.
