Maternal mental health affects 1 in 5 mothers, but often mothers suffer in silence. Society tells mothers to focus on raising their family and that the hard stuff just comes with the territory. This presentation will provide information about the unique challenges mothers face in terms of mental health, how clinicians can adapt services to fit mothers' needs, and how society can better support parents.
Learning Objectives
1. Name at least two examples of Postpartum Mood & Anxiety Disorders (PMADS) and common symptoms
2. Identify one screening tool for use with new mothers.
3. Identify two accommodations clinicians can make to ensure easier mental health access for mothers.

Demystifying Psychedelics for Mental Health: What It Is, What It Isn’t, and Who It’s For
2 CEUs - Clinical
Presenter: Jade Erickson, LICSW
In recent years the proposed benefits and usage of psychedelics as a mental health intervention has been gaining traction. With positive research trending around psychedelic use for “treatment resistant depression”, trauma, and substance use, our greater communities are becoming curious. This presentation will explore the science, benefits, and risks for utilizing psychedelics for mental health concerns, primarily the protocol of “Psychedelic Assisted Therapy”, which combines the use of psychedelics with traditional psychotherapy. This presentation seeks to demystify the use of psychedelics, including exploring historical use and misuse, the indigenous roots for this work, and current laws and use in Minnesota. Recommended protocol for “Psychedelic Assisted Therapy” will be outlined and explored.
Learning Objectives
- Learn and identify the protocol for Psychedelic Assisted Therapy
- Explore the history of the use of psychedelics for mental health, as well as the misinformation
- Learn and understand the current neuroscience research of psychedelics on the brain and neuropathways
