We are excited to invite you to the 10th Annual Perinatal Mental Health Conference, taking place January 8–10, 2026, at the FSU Alumni Center in Tallahassee. This conference serves as a statewide gathering designed to bring together physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, researchers, healthcare professionals, community organizations, students, advocates, and more who share a commitment to improving perinatal mental health outcomes.
Over the course of three days, attendees will have the opportunity to explore the latest research, learn from leading experts, and engage with best practices and innovative care approaches that strengthen the field of perinatal behavioral health. Through interactive sessions, poster presentations, and collaborative discussions, the conference provides a forum for exchanging ideas, developing skills, and advancing evidence-based strategies that support families across Florida.
