This week I had the pleasure of teaching an Awareness of Perinatal Mental Health to Student Health Visitors. A morning was spent exploring their understanding of the conditions and expanding their knowledge base. With the emerging research and science from the Marcé Bangalore conference, it was great to be able to present findings which would inform practice. It was a delight to be involved with the enthusiasm and integrated learning with role play and poignant poems. I hope to return in late Spring to help consolidate some of their learning. As the teaching was part of a CPD accredited course, the students were able to add 3 credits to their portfolio.
