Culturally Safe Perinatal Mental Health Care
About
Culturally Safe Perinatal Mental Health Care - Attachment, Infant Experience and Cultural Competence When Working with Diverse FamiliesThis seminar explores how culturally safe perinatal mental health care can protect and promote infants’ social and emotional wellbeing by centring their experience within diverse families and communities in Western Australia. It examines how the mother-infant dyad may experience ‘attachment’ across different ethnocultural contexts. In acknowledging the impact of migration, trauma, systemic disadvantage and perinatal distress on the caregiver/mother, we can better understand how the wellbeing of the infant - a relational partner, is not only shaped by situation and care systems, but also by ethnocultural norms and values.
