The impact of maternal mental health on the development of children
Perinatal psychology encompasses all the psychological aspects present before, during, and after pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum.
The symposium will focus on how maternal mental health affects child development, particularly in the first year of life. The approach tries to be open, analyzing this problem from different perspectives discussing prevention, training professionals, bonding, and the impact of COVID-19 on mothers and babies.
In short, the presentations aim to look at the perinatal period. Psychology can provide clues on how to improve the quality of life in this sensitive period.
