Maternal Mental Health Conference 2020
26th June 2020
This conference is for professionals and interested parties in maternal mental health. Maternal Mental Health is so important to mum, baby and the rest of the family, yet at times issues are not addressed.
The theme of the day will be around supporting families after lockdown, based on families own experiences and also talking about support is available.
The conference will be online either through a closed group on facebook or zoom, i am just working out the technical bits! The conference will be recorded so you can still access the talks even if you can't watch live. For those watching live there will be the opportunity to text in questions for the speakers to answer at the end of their talks.
Event programme:
- Kate Blakemore (CEO of Motherwell Cheshire( talking about how services have been adapted
- Elaine Hanzack on getting the right support at the right time
- Marise talking about the role of Maternity Voices
- Sarah from Milestone Mums on her own journey through postnatal depression
