Dear members,
We are very happy to present to you our revised and renewed website soon (at first only in German, the other languages will be added in a next step). It will then again be possible to update and change the entries in the therapist list. After more than 9 months of intensive occupation and work the site has got a new structure, which you can already see on the previous one. During the last weeks the first page has received a “new dress” and we are happy about the fresh look. We would like to thank especially Irene Behrmann, who developed this new structure and revised the texts with great effort. Our thanks also go to Swen Galster, who with his knowledge and experience reprogrammed the website in the backend, that all processes work easily and well and he developed the draft for the new design. Furthermore we thank Christian Suhr, our webdesigner, who accompanied us in this renewal process because of our non-profit status for a super special price and supported us at all times. With his professional knowledge and his dedicated and friendly commitment he has made a great contribution to the successful event. We are curious how you like the site. In 2 weeks 23-25.10.20, this year’s internal ISPPM conference will take place in Aachen, starting with the general meeting on Friday evening. Due to the official guidelines we have been searching for a long time until we found a place where 50 participants* can meet. We will use the conference to intensively promote current topics such as the help phone and the planned European journal. In addition, we would like to use the time for the further development and orientation of ISPPM in a changing society. And… very important: the planning of our Anniversary conference on 22-24.10.2021!
Unfortunately we will meet without Johanna Schacht, who has to take care of herself because of an accident. Her tasks will be taken over by us in the next weeks. Also the two board members Alin Cotiga and Nese Karabekir will not come for corona security reasons, as they would come from regions with quarantine obligation. We will try to let them participate in the general meeting online. We are in grief about a death among our members: Silvia Jaburek. Many of you will know and appreciate her from our work together. She was a member of the working group Psychotherapy and has also signed our communication list. The news of her death came unexpectedly and surprisingly for us. The funeral service will take place on 20.10. at 15.00 o’clock in the Weinbergkirche Döbling. Her family asks Silvias Jaburek’s companions* to write a short email in advance if they would like to participate in the funeral service, so that the number of people (due to Corona) can be estimated in advance. The email address can be obtained from the board or the office. Reports The “International Online Conference for Perinatal Health” took place on 25 and 26 September. For all those who attended, these two days with 20 hours of live presentations were an incredible enrichment and a profound experience. At this point we would like to thank our colleagues from Romania in particular: Daniela Marincaș, Simina Angelescu and Alin Cotiga. It was very impressive that women’s topics from different countries were also presented, e.g. a study on surrogacy in Eastern Europe and another on the health of babies (birth under conditions of vaginal mutilation) and their circumcised mothers in Gambia. In order to get an idea of the commitment and effort that went into the organisation of this conference, we would like to express our thanks (from the conference’s Facebook page) to the two organisers and researchers Daniela Marincaș and Simina Angelescu: “The first multidisciplinary International Conference on Perinatal Health, held in Romania, included 20 hours of LIVE presentations given by 40 speakers from 8 countries (from Europe, but also from Australia and Japan), with over 150 participants (!!!) who listened and stayed with us until the end.
