Building Community in a Complex Field: Online PMDD Peer Supervision Network
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a complex condition that demands collaborative and compassionate care. Launched in September 2024, the Online PMDD Peer Supervision Network provides a national platform for mental health professionals to deepen their knowledge in this specialised field of interest.
Each meeting promotes active participation and the exchange of relevant clinical insights, with a strong focus on case studies, emerging treatment modalities and the latest research. This collaborative setting enables members to share knowledge, discuss solutions, and build strategies for better care delivery.
Network Coordinator and Clinical Psychologist Aimee Oliveri has witnessed the growth of the network firsthand:
“What I love most about the Online PMDD Network is seeing how far we’ve come. When I first started [as network coordinator], many practitioners were working with PMDD in isolation, unsure where to turn for referrals or support. Now, we have a true community where we can support each other, share knowledge, and refer clients with PMDD confidently.”
The network brings together general practitioners, psychiatrists, psychologists, and allied health professionals, strengthening their collective ability to provide holistic, person-centred care.
With a multidisciplinary approach, members gain valuable insights into how working collaboratively with consumers experiencing PMDD while reinforcing integrated care models. Aimee reflected;
“It’s a space where, when we’re feeling stuck, we can get guidance from multidisciplinary professionals – which makes all the difference in our work and for our clients.”
