What does an OB need to know before referring a mother to a perinatal therapist? What does a doula see that a pediatrician misses? What does a social worker wish every clinician understood about the handoffs that go cold? This panel answers those questions โ€” and gives you the language to cross-refer with confidence.

Her OB sees her at 6 weeks. Her therapist sees her at 10pm on a Tuesday. Her doula held her the morning after birth. Her pediatrician sees her at every well-child visit. We all see the same mother โ€” but do we understand each other's work well enough to actually collaborate? This May, we're having that conversation โ€” and building the cross-referral relationships that make better care possible.

It's almost Maternal Mental Health Month โ€” and this year we're asking something different.

Not just 'what do mothers need?' But: do we โ€” as providers โ€” actually understand each other's work well enough to give it to them?

This month's Greater Houston Gathering is a panel conversation across disciplines. OBs, therapists, doulas, pediatricians, social workers, lactation consultants โ€” everyone who touches perinatal mental health in the same room, talking honestly about what they see, how they refer, where they collaborate, and where mothers fall through the gaps.

You'll leave with better cross-referral language, a clearer sense of what your colleagues in other specialties actually need from you, and connections that can become real referral relationships.

Come. Bring a colleague from a different specialty. This is the conversation that makes better care possible.

Is your tween highly sensitive? Easily triggered? Struggling with big emotions that lead to bigger behaviors? ๐Ÿ’™

The Tween + Parent DBT Skills Class was built for exactly that โ€” and for the parents who love them and want to help but aren't sure how.

Over 6 weeks, parents and tweens learn DBT skills together โ€” side by side โ€” in a structured, supportive classroom environment. Real tools. Practiced together. Used at home.

What your family will learn:
โœฆ Mindfulness โ€” being present and self-aware
โœฆ Distress Tolerance โ€” getting through crisis without making things worse
โœฆ Emotion Regulation โ€” managing big emotions effectively
โœฆ Interpersonal Effectiveness โ€” improving communication and relationships

Finish this sentence โ€” no filter needed

"Nobody told me that after the baby, I would feel..."

We'll go first: like a stranger in your own life โ€” and somehow more yourself than ever. Sometimes in the same hour.

No wrong answers. Just real ones.

Save this and share it with a mama who needs it. ๐Ÿค

๐Ÿ“… Mark your calendars โ€” we're going VIRTUAL this month!

The Maternal Mental Health Collective: Greater Houston Gathering returns on April 2nd, and this time you can join from wherever you are.

This month's topic: "Mothering in Systems: What Surrounds the Mother"

Mothering doesn't happen in isolation โ€” it happens within the systems that surround us. Healthcare structures. Workplace expectations. Family dynamics. Cultural narratives. These systems shape the maternal experience in ways we rarely name out loud.

Join Lauren Pasqua, Psy.D., PMH-C as she leads this month's conversation โ€” and then stay for virtual breakout rooms where you'll connect with providers across disciplines in our first-ever virtual speed networking session.

๐Ÿง  Who should come: therapists, OB/GYNs, doulas, lactation consultants, social workers, prescribers, case managers, and anyone committed to perinatal families across Greater Houston.

๐Ÿ—“ April 2nd | Virtual 9:30-11:00 am
