SUMMARY:Specificity of changes and importance of maternal well-being during
  pregnancy
DESCRIPTION:\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Tina Montreuil\, Associate Professor\, Dep
 artment of Educational and Counselling Psychology\, McGill University\n\nD
 r. Tina C. Montreuil is an associate professor in the Department of Educat
 ional and Counselling Psychology and an associate member of the Pediatrics
  and Psychiatry departments at McGill University. She holds a scientist ap
 pointment at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre
  and is a research scientist at the Research Centre of the Sainte-Justine 
 Hospital. Dr. Montreuil is also the director of Childhood Anxiety and Regu
 lation of Emotions Laboratory C.A.R.E. Research Group and co-PI of the Mon
 treal Antenatal Well-Being Study (MAWS)\, a prospective longitudinal birth
  cohort study. She is a recent awardee of the regarded Clinician Scientist
  Program – Empowering Next-Gen Researchers In Perinatal and Child Health
  (ENRICH) and a FRQ-S Research Scholar Jr. 1\, equivalent to a provincial 
 research chair. Montreuil’s research focuses on investigating predictors
  of intergenerational transmission of mental health and illness. Notably\,
  her research has demonstrated that parent emotion regulation is mediated 
 by parental emotion regulation socializing behaviours (supportive vs. puni
 tive parenting practices) to predict child emotion regulation and future p
 sychopathology. She holds several external tri-council agency funding (CIH
 R\, SSHRC\, NSERC\, FRQS\, FRQSC\, FRQNT) as well as foundation grants (He
 alth Canada\, SACME\, etc.). In terms of knowledge dissemination\, Dr. Mon
 treuil has published in several medical and education journals\, co-author
 ing more than 150 scholarly articles\, abstracts\, presentations\, and cha
 pters.\n\nTalk summary:\n\nPregnancy is accompanied by important physiolog
 ical and affective changes due to strong hormonal surges. Among other thin
 gs\, pregnancy induces lasting changes in the mother's brain structure and
  function\; in particular\, women lose grey matter. These important change
 s in the brain\, which begin during pregnancy and persist for at least two
  years after delivery\, are said to prepare the mother for the demands of 
 caring for her baby. However\, since these changes occur in the regions in
 volved in social interactions\, such as the perception and interpretation 
 of the desires\, emotions\, intentions and moods of others or oneself\, ac
 cording to scientific research\, these unique alterations can also affect 
 fetal development. Children born to women who report perinatal anxiety (st
 ress) or mood difficulties are twice as likely to experience mental health
  problems across childhood and into adolescence. Thus\, how can it be expl
 ained that so little attention is paid to the specific mental health needs
  of women during pregnancy? The presentation will explore the specificity 
 of biological changes occurring during pregnancy that can critically impac
 t maternal and fetal well-being and development and provide a rationale fo
 r why perinatal mental health should be viewed as a public health priority
 .\n\nMentorship opportunity: \n\nImmediately following Dr. Montreuil's p
 resentation\, audience members will have the opportunity to hear more a
 bout Dr. Montreuil's career. This is an excellent opportunity for traine
 es to ask questions and learn more about careers in women's health.\n\nAge
