Perinatal Mental Health
Pregnancy and the postnatal period can be times of significant psychological vulnerability for birthing women and their partners. This network brings together a multidisciplinary community of clinicians committed to improving mental health outcomes for expectant and new parents. This network provides a platform to share knowledge, explore evidence-based models of care, and stay informed about innovative research and best practices in perinatal mental health.
Who is it for?
Clinicians interested in networking in a multidisciplinary group about challenges and strategies to provide excellent services for mothers with perinatal mental health needs.
