In addition, panelists will share how to support decision-making through informed consent to minimize harm and mitigate risk during the perinatal period for birthing people in jail. They will also highlight legislation and resources available to increase their access to birth with dignity.&nbsp;

PANEL: Supporting the Holistic Needs of Pregnant and Postpartum People Experiencing Incarceration

Ripples from the changing landscape of fundamental reproductive care access across America can be felt everywhere, even in states like California, with legislation that supports access to abortion care. This panel discussion will engage frontline advocates, care providers, and legal representatives to explore the implications of the U.S. Supreme Court reversal of Roe v. Wade for care providers and communities. In addition, this discussion will explore the mental health impact and the relative challenges that care providers experience while upholding ethical standards of practice and remaining aware of mandated reporting requirements.&nbsp;

PANEL: Legal and Ethical Implications of the Reversal of Roe V. Wade for Care Providers and Communities

Break

June 24, 2022 changed the lives of people with internal reproductive organs everywhere in the United States. While physicians and other medical providers have been on the front pages of many conversations about the loss of reproductive autonomy in many states, perinatal therapists are the professionals engaging in intimate conversations to process complex decisions and the powerful emotions that follow.
In this workshop, participants will explore how to protect their practice in this critical therapeutic work while maintaining accurate and ethical documentation practices. Regardless of the current laws in your state, it is important to begin implementing practices today to protect safe spaces for clients in need of our support and expertise.
&nbsp;
Objectives
<ol>
<li>Construct accurate clinical documentation in consideration of client privacy without compromising insurance requirements related to medical necessity;</li>
<li>Revise informed consent practices to ensure client comprehension about reproductive disclosures in the context of the socio-political climate and possible changing legislation locally and nationwide;</li>
<li>Identify at least 3 vulnerable populations at elevated risk for the criminalization of pregnancy and name their barriers to accessing necessary reproductive care;</li>
<li>Assess evolving mandated reporting requirements as they apply to reproductive disclosures in psychotherapy.</li>
