Mindful Moms WATCH Workshops 2026

Information is everywhere. Clarity is not.

WATCH helps you evaluate evidence, understand uncertainty, and know what information deserves a place in your decision-making process.

Every day, mothers and healthcare professionals are faced with difficult decisions.

  • Should I continue medication during pregnancy?
  • Should I breastfeed while taking treatment?
  • What do I do when one expert says one thing and another says the opposite?
  • How do I know which study applies to me?
  • How do I weigh risk when there is no perfect answer?

The challenge is not a lack of information.

The challenge is knowing which information to trust, what applies to your situation, and how to make sense of uncertainty when the evidence is not straightforward.

The quality of any decision depends on the quality of the information that informs it.

WATCH is a practical critical-appraisal workshop designed for mothers, families, and healthcare professionals. It teaches you how to evaluate information, interpret research, and understand risk without needing a background in statistics or research methodology.

Rather than telling you what to think, WATCH teaches you how to think about information.

 

One other phrase that may be useful elsewhere on the page, social media or future marketing materials:

"ARC helps you decide.

WATCH helps you know what information to trust."

Who is this for:

This workshop is for you if:

  • You are pregnant or planning pregnancy

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

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

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.
