The Maternal and Mental Health FORUM is the conference where change agents come to convene, collaborate and take in cutting edge content to close gaps in care.

2020 Mom Annual Maternal and Mental Health FORUM

2020 Mom Annual Forum February 12-13, 2020 We CAN Do More in Maternal and Mental Health Care 2020 Mom

This year’s FORUM theme was We Can Do More in celebration of reaching the year 2020. This year’s program focused on the work that is yet to be done to ensure women and families receive the maternity care and mental health care they deserve. Throughout the two day event, we addressed pathways to transform systems of care and access to the right care at the right time at the right price. This included discussions about technology, employer strategies, regulatory levers and more.

Here’s a few of our favorite shots and posts from the FORUM:

Pilyoung Kim, Ph.D.

Opening Keynote
Pilyoung Kim, PhD, is an associate professor in the department of psychology and the director of Family and Child Neuroscience Laboratory at the University of Denver. Dr. Kim researches the structural and functional plasticity in mothers' brains, and how such plasticity supports parents' psychological adaptation to parenting and sensitive caregiving for their infants. As part of her keynote, she will discuss the early postpartum period as a window of vulnerabilities and opportunities when the parental brain is influenced by stress and psychopathology, but also susceptible to interventions.
