This presentation will offer an introduction to the field of Maternal Mental Health and how it relates to Infant Mental Health and trauma-informed clinical work with families.
The presentation will have two main parts: One part focusing on the foundational clinical aspects of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) like diagnosis, etiological factors, presentation, comorbitity, symptomology, and basic principles of assessment, case conceptualization, intervention, and treatment. This will be done using a biopsychosocial approach demonstrating how individual and systemic levels of risk factors interact. The second part will focus on how Maternal Mental Health informs Infant Mental Health and clinical work with families. The principles for trauma-informed care for families that considers and integrates Maternal Mental Health will be explained.
An overview of best practices and treatment modalities will be presented along with an information about the standard screening tools and referrals that can be readily implemented by providers.
The presenter is Helena Vissing, PsyD, PMH-C.
