PND TRAINING

Training in Postnatal Depression &
Perinatal Mental Health Issues.

After many years of delivering very successful PND Training courses Sheelah Seeley has retired and the training will now be delivered by Jane Hanley. Jane has worked with Sheelah over the years and is aware of the importance of solid, research based training in perinatal mental health issues. Although there will be some minor alterations, the courses will continue to run very much as Sheelah has organised them in the past.

Jane Hanley is a health visitor by background and is currently working in academia. Jane has been involved training health professionals and raising public awareness on postnatal depression, and latterly perinatal mental health, since the early 1990's. She has presented extensively at conferences, both nationally and internationally.
Jane is President of the United Kingdom and Ireland Marcé Society and is President Elect of the Marcé Society (2012 – 2014), an international multi-disciplinary society concerned with perinatal mental health.
Jane's interests involve continuing to heighten awareness of perinatal mental health issues, ethnic minority and fathers' issues.
She has several publications, including a book on Perinatal Mental Health : Perinatal Mental Health: A Guide for Health Professionals and Users
