Hosted by Murray PHN and presented by Diabetes Victoria, this webinar will provide a clinical refresher on Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), including an update about new guidelines and diagnostic criteria.

This webinar, focused on perinatal mental health and the impact of grief and a history of eating disorders, is being presented in collaboration with COPE (Centre of Perinatal Excellence), Australia’s peak body in perinatal mental health. COPE’s vision is a connected, informed and empowered community that supports women and their families to achieve strong and enduring mental health during pregnancy and the year following birth. This webinar is also supported by PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia), who focus on supporting parents and families during pregnancy, and throughout the first year of parenthood. This webinar will explore the experience of Nadia, a fictitious case study. At 22 weeks into her pregnancy, Nadia is experiencing persistent worry about her pregnancy and the health of her baby, having previously experienced a miscarriage at 19 weeks. Our panel will share insights and approaches to supporting clients experiencing mental health challenges, grief and bereavement during the perinatal period and navigating the effects of a history of an eating disorder in care. Attend this webinar to develop your understanding of common perinatal mental health presentations, and how to recognise them. Through the webinar, you will explore how past grief and a history of eating disorders can influence perinatal mental health. You will also strengthen your trauma-informed, person-centred communication strategies in clinical practice.
