Maternal and Baby Mental Health Symposium Programme

We are excited to share with you the Maternal and Baby Mental Health Symposium programme that has been prepared specifically for World Maternal Mental Health Day

This year's program will be carried out as a hybrid in cooperation with Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa First Breath Midwifery Club 

Our theme for 2024; Storytelling Saves Lives! 

The first session will focus on precious parents who will share their stories and offer hope to other parents who have experienced similar situations

In the second session, valuable experts will discuss important topics, with their primary goal to inform all parents, their friends and families, and to help families who may be unable to find the strength to seek help while suffering, and reach the support they need

"Sadly many people wait days, months even years without any help. Some because they are ashamed, some because they are unsure if their feelings are worth noticing, some because of fear of being exposed to unpleasant labels. However, we believe that for healthier generations every parent should have access to the support they need, and that is possible with the power of sharing and solidarity"

The symposium is free and open to everyone. On the day, you can follow live from the Mother Mental Health Awareness Association YouTube channel or you can join in person at Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa Büyükçekmece Campus R Block Academic Board Room
