The national PIPE-MC (Perinatal Interprofessional Psychosocial Education for Maternity Clinicians) project team led by Western Sydney University is seeking Expressions of Interest from maternity clinicians in the SESLHD to participate in a free training program (includes a one-day workshop and web-based resources) focused on perinatal mental health.
What is PIPE-MC
The PIPE-MC project is a simulation based, interprofessional training program designed to strengthen the capacity of health professionals to care for women with perinatal mental health concerns. A key focus of the program is to build skills in interprofessional collaboration. The development and evaluation of PIPE-MC has been funded by the Commonwealth Government Perinatal Mental Health Priority Grants.
The PIPE-MC workshops will be offered online via Teams or zoom on the 31st of March 0800-1630. Workshops are limited to maximum of 12 interprofessional participants.
Participants in each workshop will include midwives, obstetricians, general practitioners, (e.g.GP/Obstetricians), child & family health nurses/maternal child health nurses, and allied health: perinatal mental health, social workers, drug & alcohol clinicians as well as other related disciplines).
The interactive workshops will be supported by online augmented reality resources that build on skills practiced in the workshop and a community of practice forum.
At the end of the training participants will have skills and confidence to:
identity, explore and clarify the concerns/worries and strengths/resources that women, their partners and family have
identify and discuss referral pathways options with women and families
explore and clarify the experience and support needs of fathers, non-birth parents and other family
work in culturally sensitive ways including working with women and families from Indigenous and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds including cultural and peer support workers
participate in interprofessional communication and collaboration
Participants will also be invited to complete a pre and post workshop evaluation survey. This has ethics approval (2021/ETH12098)
