Over 500 behavioral health researchers, physicians, nurses, and mental health advocates gathered at the biennial Marcé Society Congress help in conjunction with Postpartum Support International (PSI) on October 27-30 to share new findings, collaborate on new pathways, and present scientific discoveries on all matters surrounding women's perinatal and postnatal mental health. The conference provided over 140 presentations on critical topics including hormones and pregnancy, depression and pregnancy, prenatal anxiety disorders, risk factors for postpartum psychosis, treatment for pregnancy and eating disorders, father's attachment style, psychotherapy, midwives, screening for partner abuse, lactation failure, bipolar disorder, psychotropic drugs, and clinical trials.

The following educational activity, consisting of the recorded sessions conducted on October 28-30th, has been made possible by the Marcé Society with contributions from the Staunton Farm Foundation, UPMC Health Plan and Community Care Behavioral Health, the Fine Foundation and an NIMH conference grant (R13 MH 086993).

This activity is only available to Marcé Society members!. For the low cost of membership, you not only have 24/7 access to these valuable presentations, but also will be part of an international society for the understanding, prevention and treatment of mental illness related to childbearing.
