Perinatal Mental Health

Overview

Join us to address some of the most pressing challenges in perinatal mental health care facing maternity services today.

Leading clinicians, educators and policymakers will provide comprehensive training in perinatal mental health for multidisciplinary teams. Through lectures, workshops, panel discussions and abstract presentations, delegates will learn evidence-based approaches to maternal mental health care that can be implemented immediately into clinical practice. 

The course explores neurodiversity in pregnancy and birth, examining the importance of inclusive and adaptive care. It addresses the growing phenomenon of birth outside guidance, unpacking the psychological impact of trauma, autonomy and social media narratives.  

Attendees will also engage with practical strategies for sustaining a positive maternity culture amidst workforce pressures and system change, and learn how to sensitively support women and families experiencing social care involvement or child removal.
