As part of the Nordic project The First 1000 Days in the Nordic Countries, we organized two workshops in the autumn 2025. This webinar concludes the workshop series, which offered a unique opportunity to explore the implementation of evidence-based methods in different national contexts.
In this webinar, we’ll publish a report The First 1000 Days in the Nordics: Identifying Gaps and Needs to Strengthen Psychosocial Wellbeing and discuss its key findings.
We welcome developers, experts, and decision-makers in perinatal services from all Nordic countries!

The Nordic First 1,000 Days of a Child Network enhances understanding of the importance of pregnancy and the first two years of life for human health, and promotes the use of effective methods to support the mental health of parents and children.
