Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Experimental Group - 1 Day CBTExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The intervention is a 6-hour long CBT-based workshop. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a structured psychotherapy based on the cognitive theory of depression that posits that negative thoughts about the self, others and the future can lead to and perpetuate depressed mood states. CBT equips participants with skills that enable them to identify and modify distortions in their thinking that lead to depressed mood and maladaptive behavioural responses. The intervention will be delivered in in modules and contain content on PPD etiology (with a focus on modifiable risk factors), the development of cognitive skills including cognitive restructuring, behavioural skills such as problem solving, sleep strategies, behavioural activation, assertiveness, and self-care, and the final module will involve goal setting and action planning.
