TRAINING FOR PROFESSIONALS

Professional development

​

Our Psychologists are committed to ongoing professional development, constantly updating our knowledge and skills in evidence-based practice. We invite guest speakers to our meetings to impart their knowledge on specific areas of perinatal mental health. We run ongoing internal training and peer development by sharing our learning from conferences and workshops relevant to the field.

Some of our psychologists coordinate Melbourne's Perinatal Mental Health Professionals Networks (MHPN). Aimed at improving interdisciplinary mental health practice and collaborative care within local catchments, these meetings are open to practitioners from a variety of disciplines (Psychiatry, Obstetrics, Medicine, Psychology, Social Work, Midwifery, Maternal & Child Health).  If you are a professional in the field, and are interested in joining a Perinatal MHPN, please contact MHPN 
here.

Individual clinical supervision

Picture

Hettie Dubow, Yolanda Romeo, and Rachel Watts are AHPRA endorsed clinical supervisors, who provide individual supervision to psychologists wishing to develop their skills in working with women and families during pregnancy and the postpartum.

With backgrounds in in-patient and community-based perinatal settings, these supervising psychologists bring a wealth of experience in perinatal mental health. They provide supervision with a focus on clinical aspects of perinatal mental health issues, and parent-infant bonding.

Hettie has a particular interest in the application of attachment theory to the formulation and treatment of adults. Rachel is particularly interested in using Compassion Focussed Therapy and Mindfulness techniques with mothers who have complex mental health issues, and with parents who have experienced the death of a child.​

​Hettie, Emma, Yolanda and Rachel are also available to provide supervision to groups of Maternal & Child Health Nurses.

Mentoring

Picture

​Dr Renée Miller provides mentoring to training and early-career psychologists who are interested in pursuing perinatal mental health as an area of specialty. After researching the experience of first time mothers, being involved in training of PANDA phone counsellors, and working in the perinatal field for 16 years, Renée understands the particular needs of pregnant women and new mothers, and their quest for skilled psychological help. Renée sees the unique combination of skills in each psychologist, helping them to further develop a career trajectory that services this population of clients. As part of her role as Clinical Advisor (Psychology) for the Centre for Perinatal Excellence (COPE), Renée stays abreast of accessible training courses that can serve as adjunct training for general adult psychologists wishing to specialise in perinatal mental health.
