WHAT THIS SIMULATION PRESENTS
- MaryAnne describes the adjustment to motherhood as more difficult than she expected, including leaving her job and spending most days at home alone with her newborn
- She notes minimal support from her husband, who works full time, and no nearby family
- Students can observe the clinician normalizing these emotional reactions rather than pathologizing them right away
- The clinician walks through a direct risk assessment, asking about thoughts of harming herself or her baby
- The session models how a clinician moves from open ended rapport building into a focused safety check and a referral for ongoing support
