Practice skills to promote infant and parent mental health in the first 12 months of life

This webinar presented strategies to support practitioners to consider the ‘whole child’ when working with infants and children, shifting the focus from labels, problems and conditions to supporting children’s hopes and goals through inclusive practice. 

This webinar explores paediatric anxiety in the context of how practitioners can better support children experiencing anxiety, and how to engage and work with their families to contribute to plans to address anxiety.

This webinar was presented in conjunction with Emerging Minds and the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. It features Dr Ros Powrie (psychiatrist), Dr Penny Burns (GP), Kham Sirimanotham (Child and Family Partner) and faciliator, Dr James Best. The presenters discuss responding to the mental health needs of infants and children using a case study from Emerging Minds' e-learning learning courses. The speakers provided practical examples of how GPs can engage with parents and children.
