Do You Want to Become an Expert in Menopause Mental Health Issues? Join our Spring 2026 Training Program!

October 29, 2025

The BRIA team is thrilled to have trained many healthcare providers since 2024 via our Menopause Mental Health Provider Certification (MMHPC) training program. This popular course was created by Dr. Ariel Dalfen and Dr. Bev Young, psychiatrists with over 25 years of clinical and teaching expertise in women’s mental health, and is taught in collaboration with other members of the BRIA team who have significant women’s health and mental health knowledge and skills. Our professional teaching team consists of two psychiatrists, a nurse clinical educator, a registered psychotherapist, a registered dietitian and a social worker  with expertise in sexual health.

We are making a huge difference by equipping healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools they need to understand and support mid-life women.
