Tips for Your Teleconsultation

Conversation Starters
How to talk to your perinatal patients about their mental health

Three Steps:

  • Sit down and face your patient.
  • Normalize and acknowledge the tremendous changes that motherhood brings.
  • Inquire about their mental health at each visit.
  • Use it as a starting point for further conversation.
  • Consider going over individual responses of the questionnaire.

“Help me understand why you chose the answers that you did.”

“Is the transition to new motherhood meeting your expectations?”
