International Marcé Society Conference 2010 – Call for proposals, deadline April 1.
The Marcé Society, (http://www.marcesociety.com/) with our partners from Postpartum Support International, PSI (www.postpartum.net ) envisions a world in which perinatal mental illnesses are prevented and cured. To dovetail with the strategic plan of NIMH, the Marcé Society conference will be organized according to the plan’s aims. The four themes of the strategic plan have been adapted to structure the program content (www.nimh.nih.gov/about/strategic-planning-reports/index.shtml): 1) Promote discovery in the brain and behavioral sciences to fuel research on the causes of perinatal mental disorders; 2) Chart perinatal mental illness trajectories to determine when, where, and how to intervene; 3) Develop new and better interventions that incorporate the diverse needs and circumstances of women with perinatal mental illnesses and their families; 4) Strengthen the public health impact of NIMH-supported research for women with perinatal disorders and their families. Elaboration of these themes is presented below. We are now accepting abstracts in this broad group of topics --- Deadline April 1, 2010!
