On Wednesday 8th October APP will be hosting the Alex Baish Memorial Webinar for frontline health professionals working with families in the perinatal period.

Suicide is the leading cause of maternal death in the UK and rates are increasing nationally. This free webinar is open to frontline health professionals including GPs, midwives, health visitors and antenatal educators.

APP experts, women and families with lived experience and clinicians will highlight the early signs and symptoms of postpartum psychosis and discuss how frontline health professionals can work with perinatal mental health teams to help prevent maternal suicides.

This will be the third in the webinar series. 6,438 health professionals have signed up in previous years. Of attendees, 93% rated the training as ‘excellent’; 7% rated it ‘good’ and 100% agreed they would change their practice as a result:

Really well put together- the content, the speakers, the information sharing and all the research and evidence presented. This is exactly the type of training needed. The issue is too urgent to ignore and too desperate to not be passionate about.

This free webinar is supported by fundraising in memory of Alex Baish. If you would like to make a donation to help support our work, it would be very much appreciated. Whatever you give will make a real difference. Please consider making a donation.
