PMAD-CARE Trial Summary

This trial will test if a 12-session group therapy can help postpartum parents manage their mental health, parenting stress, and connection with their baby. Eligible parents must have a baby 3-12 months old and have experienced postpartum depression/anxiety.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for postpartum parents who have given birth within the last 3-12 months, are English-speaking, and are currently receiving care at Montefiore Medical Center. It's aimed at those experiencing moderate to high levels of depression or anxiety after childbirth. Parents already in a CARE group or another parenting program, with severe mental health issues needing intense treatment, or current psychosis/mania can't participate.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests the Connecting and Reflecting Experience (CARE) Program—a group therapy designed to improve mental health, reduce parenting stress, and strengthen parent-infant relationships among postpartum parents with mood/anxiety disorders. Participants will attend 12 sessions and complete surveys to assess the program's impact on their well-being.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

As this is a psychological intervention rather than a medical one, traditional side effects like those seen with medications aren't expected. However, discussing sensitive topics during therapy could potentially cause emotional discomfort.
