Postpartum depression is a serious condition that affects about 1 in 7 mothers and about 1 in 3 low-income mothers. This is a class taught in a safe setting that provides pregnant women the skills and information that they need to lower their risk of postpartum depression. This class was developed by Dr. Caron Zlotnick at Women and Infants Hospital and Brown University. Five randomized clinical trials have shown that this class reduces the risk of postpartum depression in low-income women by half and is the only postpartum depression prevention intervention that (1) has been found to significantly reduce cases of postpartum depression in multiple randomized trials, and (2) has been tested in community prenatal settings.
This class is facilitated by Postpartum Interventionist trained by the University of Michigan.
