Conference Abstracts

The Call for Abstracts has now closed.

We invite you to contribute to the conference program by submitting abstracts relating to your work in the sphere of Infant Mental Health. We welcome clinical, research, policy and program related abstracts.

The conference program is a mix of invited presentations and abstract submitted oral, workshop and poster presentations.

This year’s conference will highlight the pivotal role of infant mental health as the building block for future mental health and wellbeing. Drawing on Winnicott’s seminal work conceptualising infant development in the context of the parent-child relationship and external systems, our conference theme will be “The infant, the family and the outside world: Building infant mental health into the future”.

We are committed to presenting an inclusive program and especially welcome abstracts from traditionally underrepresented groups, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

Abstracts may only be submitted online via the Submission Portal.
