TERRE HAUTE — The Continuing Nursing Education Program at Indiana State University’s College of Nursing, Health, and Human Services will present “In the Eye of the Beholder” on Nov. 13.
The presentation is 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Landsbaum Center for Health Education at 1433 North 61/2 St.
Even though most mothers view birth as a joyful experience, a mood or anxiety disorder may alter a mother’s perception.
The goal of this program is to explore ways to promote healthy outcomes for mothers and babies.
The content is appropriate for physicians, residents, advanced practical nurses, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, nurse midwives, social workers, advocacy groups and students in allied health professions.
The event features Cheryl Tatano Beck, a professor at the University of Connecticut School of Nursing and a certified nurse-midwife. She received her doctorate of nursing science from Boston University and her certificate in nurse-midwifery from Yale University. Tatano Beck is a fellow in the American Academy of Nursing and serves on the editorial boards of several nursing research and education journals.
For 20 years, Tatano Beck’s research has focused on postpartum mood and anxiety disorders.
Her research led her to develop the Postpartum Depression Screening Scale published by Western Psychological Services.
Registration is open to 150 registrants and is $90, or $20 for undergraduate students with a valid student ID.
Registration must be completed in advance of the event no later than Friday.
To register, or for more information, contact Leslie Krockenberger at (812) 237-3696 or by e-mail at leslie.krockenberger@indstate.edu.
