Parent Education | Caring for the Caregiver: Understanding Perinatal Mental Health

This session offers an introduction to perinatal mental health, helping caregivers better understand the emotional experiences that can arise during pregnancy and early parenthood. We will explore the difference between what is common and what may require additional support, review potential warning signs, and create space to discuss experiences such as intrusive or “scary” thoughts. Practical coping strategies, including stress reduction and ways to support nervous system regulation, will be shared with the goal of helping caregivers feel more informed, grounded, and supported.

Greene Towne parent and guest speaker Talia Golden, MSW, LCSW brings a thoughtful and holistic approach to her work, combining her background in psychology and social work with certifications in yoga and mindfulness practices. She has experience supporting individuals navigating trauma, mood and personality disorders, neurodivergence, self-esteem, perinatal transitions, and relationship challenges.

In her work, Talia encourages self-exploration, curiosity, and a deeper understanding of identity. She creates a warm, supportive space where individuals can safely explore their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Grounded in the belief that each person has the capacity for growth and healing, Talia partners with clients to help them build insight, confidence, and practical tools for everyday life.

Talia currently works with clients through her individual practice as well as at The Postpartum Stress Center. Her son is in Greene Towne's Toddler All Day Montessori classroom.
