Confident Treatment decisions in Pregnancy 

A structured approach to protect maternal mental health with mom and baby in mind

This workshop is designed to help you move from fear and uncertainty when confronted with mental healthcare decisions during pregnancy toward greater clarity, confidence and peace of mind.

Whether you are a mother navigating the uncertainty of maternal mental health or a healthcare professional supporting women through this deeply personal journey, you know that pregnancy is about so much more than the medical treatment.

You will leave knowing the next step with clarity so that mothers, babies and families can thrive.

Workshop Details

Option 1: Online

(R550 - once-off)
  • Date: 16 September 2026
  • Time: 18:00-20:00

It’s not that there isn’t information.

It’s that no one has shown you how to think about it.

Because in pregnancy:

  • There is no such thing as “no risk”
  • Every option has trade-offs
  • The right decision depends on your specific situation

What you need is not more reassurance.

You need a way to make the decision clearly and confidently.

After this workshop you will:

  • Understand why mental health matters for babies, and mothers
  • Know how to weigh risks properly (not just react to fear)
  • Map risk of relapse or perinatal depression
  • Gain clarity on medication, support or other strategies
  • Learn a structured way to make decisions without overwhelm
  • Feel confident in the decisions you make going forward
  • Leave with a clear next step that fits the unique circumstances of moms, babies and families

You will know what to do next.

Who is this for:

This workshop is for you if:

  • You are pregnant or planning pregnancy or supporting women in the perinatal period

  • You are taking (or considering) medication for your mental health

  • You feel unsure, anxious or conflicted about what to do

  • You want clarity, not just reassurance

  • You are a healthcare professional that needs to make complex perinatal treatment decisions

You’ve been told

“It’s probably safe”

“Rather stop if you can”

You’ve been told

“We’ll see how you go”

I didn’t need more information. I needed structure. I needed someone to show me how to THINK through it.

I found the content was expertly curated, highly informative & addressed the complexities of medication management during pregnancy and the postpartum. I especially appreciated the balance between evidence-based guidance and practical case examples which made the material both accessible and clinically relevant.
