Perinatal Mood Disorders Training Events
For the past three years, the New Jersey Department of Health has co-sponsored a training event for New Jersey healthcare providers. Each year, a different consortium from the six consortia funded by the department to support postpartum women helps to plan the event and obtain accreditation from the relevant agencies.
