Description
AACC Divisional Membership (AACC membership required)
The Perinatal Support & Wellness Division
The Perinatal Support & Wellness Division (PSWD) exists to encourage and equip counselors, and ministry leaders, who walk alongside individuals and families facing the emotional, spiritual, and physical challenges of the perinatal journey. From pregnancy and birth to loss, postpartum struggles, and recovery, this division is committed to promoting compassionate care during one of life’s most vulnerable seasons.
Many individuals silently carry the weight of grief, anxiety, or unresolved emotions tied to their perinatal experience, and often struggle to find safe, understanding support. This division helps prepare both professional and lay caregivers to offer hope, healing, and practical guidance to those navigating complex emotions around fertility, pregnancy, infant loss, postpartum wellness, and related issues.
