There’s just a few days until the first annual UK Maternal Mental Health Alliance conference and we’re busy preparing for what promises to be an inspiring day at Imperial College, London.
The theme is ‘Intergenerational Mental Health: working with mums and babies in perinatal mental health practice’.
The conference, which is funded by the National Lottery through the Big Lottery Fund, will bring together international experts, practitioners and service users to share best practice and showcase new approaches to breaking the intergenerational cycle of mental health problems.
At the conference we will announce the winners of the first perinatal mental health awards recognising achievement and innovation in the categories of perinatal mental health education and training, perinatal mental health awareness raising, peer support and transgenerational service.
Conference places have sold out but you can follow the speakers and award winners on Twitter using #MMHAconf17 and #MABIM.
Interviews with the speakers and film from the day will be available online after the event.
