Supporting perinatal mental health after loss or a history of eating disorders | Online

Hosted by the Mental Health Professionals Network

The perinatal period is a well-established window of heightened vulnerability for the onset and recurrence of mental health challenges and conditions. When perinatal mental illness is not identified and appropriately supported, symptoms and associated impacts can endure for years, reinforcing the critical role of early detection, assessment, and coordinated care.

This webinar, focused on perinatal mental health and the impact of grief and a history of eating disorders, is being presented in collaboration with COPE (Centre of Perinatal Excellence), Australia’s peak body in perinatal mental health. COPE’s vision is a connected, informed and empowered community that supports women and their families to achieve strong and enduring mental health during pregnancy and the year following birth. This webinar is also supported by PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia), who focus on supporting parents and families during pregnancy, and throughout the first year of parenthood.

Attend to develop your understanding of common perinatal mental health presentations, and how to recognise them. You will explore how past grief and a history of eating disorders can influence perinatal mental health. You will also strengthen your trauma-informed, person-centred communication strategies in clinical practice.
