Pampers and Perimenopause: Managing Later Motherhood
More women are navigating fertility decisions, pregnancy, and early parenting during perimenopause. This life stage brings overlapping biological, psychological, relational, and identity shifts that significantly affect mental health, cognitive function, emotional regulation, and treatment planning.
In this APA continuing education session, Dr. Julie Bindeman brings deep clinical and reproductive mental health expertise to examine how hormonal transition intersects with reproductive decision making, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma history, sleep disruption, executive function, and relationship dynamics.
Designed for psychologists, mental health clinicians, physicians, and allied health professionals, the session focuses on clinically actionable assessment frameworks, therapeutic strategies, interdisciplinary collaboration, and realistic care pathways for this growing patient population.
