Protecting the Perinatal Experience in the Time of COVID19
Leslie Butterfield, Ph.D.
This webinar will address some of the particular stressors faced by perinatal providers and patients during this time of COVID-19. Emphasis will be placed on the ways in which grief and trauma may be experienced, and how healing and cooperation may occur as both patients and providers gain a deeper understanding of one another’s current painful or frightening experiences.
Objectives:
- Identify three ways in which perinatal providers and perinatal patients/clients are having similar (and difficult) experiences
- List five things providers can do to offer respectful care during the COVID-19 pandemic
- Describe the concept of the “crazy quilt” of grief
- List the three helpful questions that provide a framework for understanding and managing grief
