SARS-CoV-2, the cause of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has been associated with significant maternal morbidity and poor neonatal outcomes, including preterm birth and stillbirth. Fatality review teams are collecting and analyzing information on cases of fetal, infant, and child deaths that are directly attributed to COVID-19, and those that are indirectly impacted by the pandemic. Learn from expert speakers the latest information on prevalence, risk factors, and the most current guidelines for medical/obstetric care and preventive strategies for pregnant patients with COVID-19.

Infant Mental Health (IMH) is the study of mental health as it applies to infants, toddlers, and their families. The field investigates optimal social and emotional development of infants and their families in the first three years of life. Understanding infant mental health is the key to preventing and treating the mental health problems of very young children and their families. This webinar aims to assist fatality review personnel in exploring when a referral to an IMH provider is needed and what services an IMH provider can offer a family.
