PIMHA will be holding its annual conference titled “Understanding the Complexities of Perinatal and Infant Mental Health” on Thursday 24th and Friday 25th November 2022 at the University Campus in Valletta.
The focus will be on assessment and management of complex perinatal mental illnesses to encompass the mother, father and also the baby. Particular attention will be given on the first few years of a baby’s life and the most important early parent-child relationship and how long term negative effects for the developing child can be reduced. In addition to local speakers, we will be having two international experts in this field, Dr Rina Gupta, a Consultant Perinatal Psychiatrist, and Dr Ellen Auty, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, both working within specialised perinatal and parent-child services in the UK.
Applications are on a first come first served basis and places are limited.
