Learn more about neurodivergence during pregnancy and early parenthood in this online webinar for psychological professionals

Join us for an insightful training designed to deepen your understanding of neurodivergence during the perinatal period. This session will explore the unique experiences of neurodivergent individuals through the stages of fertility, pregnancy, labour and birth, early parenthood, and bonding with their baby.

Whether you work in perinatal mental health, therapy, or support services, this training will equip you with understanding to enhance your practice and better meet the needs of neurodivergent parents.

The session will be led by Dr Siobhan Higgins, Consultant Clinical Psychologist & Parent -Infant Psychotherapist alongside Dr Jo Mueller Clinical Psychologist.
