2020 Vision: Seeing through the eyes of babies - Webinar in June 2020
Infant Mental Health Awareness Week. Joint AAIMH (Australia), AIMH (UK), WAIMH and the Parent-Infant Foundation (UK) seminar on June 10th, 2020. 

Since meeting in person is not possible this year, WAIMH has postponed the 2020 Brisbane congress to 2021. (Read more at: https://waimh.org/ ) We are fortunate to have gathered our colleagues from all corners of the globe to speak to us. WAIMH organized three events together with AAIMH UK and the Infant-Parent Trust UK in collaboration with the Brisbane Local Organising Committee. The 2020 WAIMH Webinars aim to connect us through virtual space, giving us the opportunity to share information and insights about crises that affect our infants globally. The Webinars are first available to current WAIMH members (end of August, 2020), in a second step to WAIMH affiliates and finally the webinars will be open to the general public.
