Active Control
Group I: MWSH plus Candlelit CareExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Candlelit Care is a virtual perinatal mental health application that builds on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to provide Black, Indigenous and POC women and birthing parents access to culturally affirming mental health support during pregnancy. Driven by an integrated care team, women have access to self-guided therapeutic tools, peer coaching and education about perinatal mood disorders as a primary resource. This convenient and trauma informed app allows parents to see if their mental health symptoms warrant further treatment in a secure setting. The app also provides education of role transitions, discussion of types of interpersonal conflicts common around childbirth (including racial discrimination) and techniques for resolving them, and role-playing with feedback from other parents during groups. The goals are to improve self-advocacy skills; patient communication with medical providers and provide a support network with other Black pregnant women.
Group II: Maternal Wellness Self Help (MWSH) ApplicationActive Control1 Intervention
The Maternal Wellness Self Help (MWSH) app was created to help individuals to identify and manage perinatal depression and anxiety. The app is designed is to meet the emotional needs of those who are pregnant, want to become pregnant or have given birth. This psycho-educational app informs and normalizes the range of emotional responses throughout the reproductive journey. By learning about perinatal mental health, this app hopes to empower patients to understand and name their experiences.
