Angela Vincent Polk has provided mental health services that have been preventive, team-based, home-based therapeutic services since 2016.  Her experience with family services began with Through the Looking Glass (TLG), a local organization that uses a team-based model to serve pregnant women and mothers with children under 3 years old to improve maternal health by providing free mental health by trained mental health providers, resource gathering for basic needs, child safety, mental and physical disability rights advocacy that affects a parent-child relationship, assistance in finding community resources, early childhood development education and parenting resource supports, and attachment/ child-parent psychotherapy to prevent and decrease mental health challenges for young children and their parents.  Mental health and child development screeners were integral to this relational work within TLG and with the served families; likewise, having the support of occupational therapists, reflective supervisors, and community relationships with Children's Hospital and the East Bay Regional Center helped her as a consulting provider and many families receive concrete services.  During her work with TLG, she completed a two-year certificate in Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health. In 2019, Angela's experience in team-based work broadened when she joined Alameda County's Maternal, Paternal, Child, and Adolescent Health (MPCAH) unit to work with the Blue Skies Mental Wellness Team as a Perinatal Mental Health Therapist.  This work required specific training in perinatal mood disorders through Postpartum Support International to understand the complexities of serving women during pregnancy and up to two years post-delivery. Besides providing weekly therapy to POC who screened positive for mood challenges and psychosocial stressors, she facilitated multiple Mothers and Babies - 9-week courses every year to improve maternal and infant health outcomes.
