The University of Ottawa, Office of Continuing Professional  Development (CPD) and the Department of Psychiatry are proud to present this  1/2-day in-person course at The Ottawa Civic Hospital, Amphitheatre.
  

2024 is the year of Perinatal Mental Health Guidelines!
 
The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) and the  Canadian Network for Mood & Anxiety Treatments (CANMAT) are both  releasing the first Canadian guidelines on Perinatal Mental Health. We are  pleased to host their first joint launch.  

The focus of this year's course is on Evidence Based Stepped Perinatal Mental  Health Care, with updates and clinical applications of the new SOGC and  CANMAT guidelines. In live seminars, you will hear directly from the experts  involved in the development of these guidelines. The morning closes with a  comprehensive panel of community resource providers to showcase their  integral roles in the stepped care model. There will also be the opportunity  to ask questions directly to perinatal psychiatry experts.
 
This course will be of interest to ALL perinatal care providers, including  obstetricians, family doctors, psychiatrists, midwives, nurses, doulas,  social workers, occupational therapists, psychotherapists, lactation  consultants, and learners.
