About
In line with the long term plan ambitions for perinatal mental health, this webinar aims to provide clinical insight into the use of systemic and cognitive behavioural interventions for couples and families within the perinatal period. In particular, Family Therapy, and Behavioural Couples Therapy will be outlined and illustrated with perinatal case examples.
Clinical considerations and ideas for using these models within this context will be discussed. Empirical support and feedback from experts by experience will be reviewed. Information about training in these modalities will also be included.
This promises to be a rich and highly relevant webinar to all those working clinically and therapeutically within perinatal mental health.
