PPCM Workshop
PPCM Workshops
We offer virtual and in-person Advocate Workshops.
Each workshop is 2-hours long and for up to 30 people at a time.
PPCM may not be as rare as we think—but it doesn't have to be a death sentence. The CDC has named “missed or delayed diagnosis” as a key factor behind maternal deaths, and cardiologists and OB-GYNs admit that PPCM is often misdiagnosed or ignored.
Founder, Brianna Henderson (accompanied by FNP) educates and informs healthcare professionals/birth workers from a PPCM survivor/ advocate personal experience. Brianna is a National Published Author, Public Speaker, Certified Patient Family Partner, Birth Doula, Patient Advocate, and Grant Writer who partners and collaborates with many other maternal health organizations.
PPCM is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality in the U.S. Since it is considered rare, doctors aren’t watching for it, which ironically may mean the actual number of cases is higher than we know. According to a report from the California Pregnancy-Associated Mortality Review Committee, more than 50 percent of PPCM fatalities in the state between 2002-2007 were only diagnosed through autopsy records, and so not recorded as an official cause of death.
Our workshops are open to birth workers, parents, and family members. Don't miss this unique opportunity to begin or expand your PPCM understanding and to dive deeply into an inspiring workshop of discovery, personal growth, and advocacy.
Attendees will leave educated and aware of PPCM; introduction to a PPCM screening test. (Completion Certificate Provided)
