Research suggests about 20% to 50% of parents will have thoughts of harming their baby at some stage, especially in the first few weeks of life. For the vast majority, this will remain just a thought - most likely an intrusive, unwanted one at that. However, some will find themselves hurting their child deliberately, perhaps causing serious harm and even death. The question is why?
This webinar explores areas such as maternal mental health, post-partum psychosis, personality factors, sleep deprivation, physical health, relationship issues and attachment, along with the meaning of the child to the parent.

Nick Wallis, who published a book detailing this scandal, will take you through the jaw dropping facts of one of the UK’s most significant miscarriages of justice.
Over a 20 year period, sub-postmasters complained about bugs in the Horizon system. However, The Post Office prosecuted 736 branch managers, at the rate of one a week for false accounting. Many lost their homes, savings, jobs and friends. Some went to prison, three committed suicide. In 2019 a High Court ruling found that the Horizon system was indeed floored. When The Post Office had found out the system was flawed, they covered it up.
In April 2021, the Court of Appeal quashed the convictions of 39 former sub-postmasters and ruled their prosecutions were an affront to the public conscience. Since then, a further 550 have been quashed, but even now hundreds of victims have received no compensation and no one has been held accountable.
Dr Barnard gives insight into the psychological treatment journey for people with PTSD, which can be a significantly debilitating mental health disorder.
Hear lived experience during this webinar from Nick Caswell, veteran and former members of the R0yal Signal Corps, who will recount his PTSD experience, and treatment journey with Dr Barnard.
Traumatic experiences by their very nature are often the most difficult events that people have endured in their lives and PTSD causes these to be involuntarily relived, over and over. Those affected understandably want to avoid the memories and yet trauma focused CBT is mostly about doing the opposite.
Thorough assessment and theory explanation, relationship-building and emotional skills development all precede the difficult task of confronting the actual trauma memories head on, together in a room with a therapist.
