PIMH Masterclasses

This advanced-level Masterclass provides opportunity for interactive, reflective, therapeutic skill-building, supporting effective practice with perinatal presentations.

Designed for the PIMH Intensive Alumni, our Masterclasses foreground developmental and relational ports of entry to practice, while holding a background context of trauma-informed, strengths-based integration to intervention.

Explore flexible and creative ways of working with parents and infants

Engage in a dynamic, collaborative, reciprocal learning space

Personalise your experience – bring your case examples and stuck points for discussion

Finesse your case conceptualisations and micro-therapeutic skills

Discover answers to your most thorny perinatal questions

Connect with like-minded, dedicated peers, developing ‘communities of practice’ to increase support and decrease isolation

Content areas for exploration and discussion focus on important frames that hold us and guide us in our work with perinatal families, and include:

application of the Nested Therapeutic Model for Integrated Perinatal Intervention
access to the Perinatal Reflective Attachment-Oriented Questions, an original, evidence-informed document developed specifically for clinicians to guide effective assessment and intervention for reflective capacity
therapeutic action to support the development of the Motherhood and Fatherhood Mindsets
an in-depth case study to guide rich clinical practice and apply the above frames, informed by our model of Reflective Supervision

PIMH Masterclasses are a perinatal CPD essential!
Continue to strengthen your competencies and extend the rich content from the PIMH Intensive to optimise your capacity to support parents and infants.

“I have really enjoyed this Masterclass. Learning about how to utilise the Nested Therapeutic Model and Perinatal Reflective Attachment-Oriented Questions has been fantastic for further refining my skills as a perinatal psychologist and builds really nicely on top of the content from the intensive. I highly recommend this training!”

“Anytime you get to sit and reflect in this space is precious. This Masterclass gently re-orients you to frameworks and ways of thinking in the perinatal space and then talks you through the skills and observations you need to do the work.”

“The Masterclass was very useful with revisiting topics and concepts from previous trainings and allowed for further building of clinical skills and applications to perinatal clients.”

“The Masterclass was a great opportunity to think about the mothers I’m working with and how I could use the models to create containment within the complexity of the motherhood transitions. Bronwyn and Charise were fantastic facilitators and I enjoyed learning from them and other attendees.”
