Healing the Tigress
A podcast that focuses on conversations & stories around Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) maternal mental health, hosted by Taiwanese American mothers Peggy (LCSW, PMH-C) & Jasmine (PharmD, PMH-C) who are also postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety survivors.
Mental health is not talked about enough in our AAPI communities, and we want to break these stigmas especially for mothers and partners. As AAPI healthcare providers who personally struggled during postpartum and are now perinatal mental health certified, we want to see more representation of other AAPI parents who know how important it is to take care of our mental health.
We talk with AAPI guests about a variety of themes in mental health and parenting, particularly what that looks like through the lens of our culture within the Western world. There are also discussions with professionals in the field, to help our providers and allies. We're not afraid to talk about the hard things that might seem taboo. We hope this podcast reminds you that you are not alone in your struggles as an AAPI parent!

After pursuing and passing the PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certification), both Healing the Tigress co-hosts Peggy and Jasmine decided it would be a great idea to provide some high-level information and their unique experiences on what to expect when preparing for it, especially since they did two different trainings that qualify for the certification. This original episode was recorded at the very end of 2024.
Since we know life can get busy, we thought this audio would be an easy way to listen to some of the ins and outs of the PMH-C while pooling together our experience. This episode goes in depth about everything from how to apply, what the criteria are, and ways to study (without revealing details about the test content itself!). If you are interested in pursuing your PMH-C, this would be a great resource for you, as well as a supplement to Jasmine's newsletter about her experience preparing for the PMH-C.
What you will get with this episode:
1. What is the PMH-C?
2. Who can get PMH-C?
3. What are the qualifications for getting a PMH-C?
4. What are the steps to getting the PMH-C?
5. Personal experience and difference between the 3-day training vs. the 8 week training
6. How we studied and a review of the new Blueprint
7. Our personal reviews of the exam
8. What are the costs of the exam and training?
9. How to get listed on the PSI provider directory and get clients
10. Other helpful tips
Disclaimer: We are not affiliated with Postpartum Support International (PSI), but Jasmine has volunteered and worked with PSI and Peggy is listed in the PSI provider directory. This is our individual experiences and background research. Jasmine got her PMH-C at the end of 2023; Peggy got her PMH-C in the middle of 2024. We both passed on the first try. Good luck!
