Mama Empoderada: Parenting and Mental Health Intervention
This study is testing an intervention called Mama Empoderada, a 12-week group program for Spanish-speaking mothers. It aims to improve maternal mental health, parenting skills, and the mother-child relationship. Researchers want to see if mothers who participate experience less depression, anxiety, and isolation, and feel more confident as parents. They also want to know if mothers find the program helpful and satisfying. You may be able to join if you are a Spanish-speaking mother of a child aged 6 or younger, and are interested in attending group sessions either in person or online. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 20 participants.
