  BRIDGING THE BAY CAMFT CHAPTER HIKE SERIES: HIKE #1 MAY 24
  

  Join us on Saturday, May 24 for a hike hosted by East Bay CAMFT at Redwood Regional Park in Oakland
  

  
  

  Many things make Marin a special place. One is that we have SF and the East Bay nearby to explore and appreciate. In order to reach across to the therapist communities over the bridges we will be getting together for three shared hikes; one in each of our backyards. East Bay CAMFT will be hosting the first on Saturday, May 24th, followed up by one in Marin, then ending the series in SF.
  
  Come out to meet other bay-area therapists while taking in the unique natural beauty that each region has to offer.

  Discover new insights about working with menopausal clients

  Supporting Women Through Perimenopause: Approaches and Interventions for Psychotherapists

  Presented by Kara Cruz, LMFT

  2 CEs available

  Free for Marin CAMFT members and reciprocal chapter members!

  PLEASE NOTE: After you sign up here, you'll be sent instructions on how to complete a separate registration step with Zoom, which is how you will get your Zoom link. You can do it in advance, or right before the meeting begins. This lets us more accurately track attendance in the Zoom meeting for our compliance purposes as a CE provider.

  
  

  Workshop Description

  
  Research has found that between 20-40% of women may experience depression during menopause. While most are more familiar the physical symptoms, it is important to learn about the emotional and psychological impacts. This is important, as all biological women who live long enough will experience menopause. In this live, two hour, virtual, interactive training we cover Perimenopause/Menopause and how this phase of life impacts a woman's mental health and overall wellness.
  
  

  Educational Goals

  This training provides an overview of the psychological, emotional and physical impacts of perimenopause and menopause on women's mental health. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the life stage transitions across perimenopause, menopause and post menopause and how these changes intersect with mood, anxiety, sleep and overall functioning. Participants will have the opportunity to explore appropriate screening questions, interventions, referral strategies and resource connections for clients.
  
  

  Learning Objectives

  Upon completion of this workshop, participants should be able to:
  

  1. Describe the differences between each stage: perimenopause, menopause and post menopause.
  2. Identify common physical, emotional and psychological symptoms associated with perimenopause/menopause.
  3. Determine how the transition into perimenopause and menopause can impact women’s mental health and mood.
  4. Explain how the clinician can promote client self advocacy and make appropriate referrals.
  5. Identify 1-2 considerations when working with cisgender versus transgender clients during the peri/menopause stage.
  6. Utilize appropriate screening tools, interventions and identify appropriate referrals to address anxiety, mood and sleep disturbance symptoms.
