AAIMH NSW April Seminar
About
The NSW branch of the Australian Association for Infant Mental Health (AAIMH) hosts a monthly online seminar series.Join us at our April 2026 seminar to hear from Skye Stewart on the topic, "Voices of the Community: What two years of Jiba Pepeny Star Baby Taught Us"."
Overview: Since its birth two years ago, Jiba Pepeny (Star Baby) has become a vital bridge within maternity systems, weaving together essential clinical care with Aboriginal ways of knowing, being, and doing. By centring cultural sovereignty, this resource has empowered families navigating the heartbreak of stillbirth while transforming how midwives and clinicians walk alongside us. This session explores the profound impact Jiba Pepeny has had on community healing and professional practice, ensuring that bereavement care is grounded in cultural safety, deep humility, and the strength of our mothers and kin.
Skye Stewart is an Aboriginal midwife, mother, and grandmother whose work is deeply rooted in the heart of her community. Skye is the creator of the nationally recognized Jiba Pepeny (Star Baby) resource, which supports Aboriginal families navigating the profound journey of stillbirth. With a career dedicated to weaving clinical excellence with Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing, she has spent years transforming how health systems walk alongside First Nations families. Now embarking on her PhD journey at Curtin University, Skye is furthering her commitment to maternal and neonatal health, focusing her research on improving bereavement care and ensuring cultural sovereignty remains at the centre of clinical practice.
Cost: Free for AAIMH members; $15 for non-AAIMH members. Please note, the session will not be recorded.
