2023 Pregnancy Symposium: Strengthening Bonds, Advancing Equity and Promoting Emotional Well-Being for Infants and Caregivers (Recording Access)

Access a recording of the 2023 Pregnancy Symposium: Strengthening Bonds, Advancing Equity and Promoting Emotional Well-Being for Infants and Caregivers.  In-depth analysis, insights and wisdom from leading innovative clinicians specialising in pregnancy.

To coincide with Infant Mental Health Awareness Week, MINDinMIND and the Parent-Infant Foundation convened prominent infant mental health experts from both the United States and United Kingdom.

Our panel were passionate, informative, wise and truly inspiring about what’s possible to help put the mental health of pregnant parents and their babies front and centre of everything we do in the antenatal period.

‘This was an outstanding evening sharing such depth of thought and insight from diverse perspectives. I left feeling humbled but so energised.”

“What came through so eloquently from each expert speaker was the passion and profound commitment and belief that powers the work. What is being learned and achieved is truly ground- breaking.”

We are showcasing some of the most successful parent-infant support programmes, interventions and pioneering services that have yielded remarkable improvements for babies.

There are cheap tickets for unemployed and free tickets for those on low incomes who wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend.

Key points of discussion:
– Why the period before birth is so important; our contributors will be bringing to life a neglected phase of the parent-infant relationship
– Why interventions at this critical stage can be transformative for parents and infants
– The impact of inequality and racism on parents bonding and connecting with their baby
– Wisdom from leading clinicians and researchers shaping our understanding of the crucial pre-birth period and their impactful interventions improving babies’ outcomes
– We give voice to parents who have experienced adversities such as inequality and racism on their pregnancy journeys
