Perinatal Mental Health Certification Program. 

The Online Perinatal Mental Health Certificate Program is a 32-hour program open to anyone who works with perinatal clients. The full certificate program involves four, eight-hour workshops. You can register for these individually, or save $337 by registering for all at once. Courses do not need to be taken in any specific order and payment plans can be made available.
