Feasibility Study of Doula-Delivered YouMatter for Postpartum Depression

This study is looking at whether doulas can effectively deliver an 8-week program called YouMatter to help women experiencing postpartum depression. YouMatter is a group program that offers mental health and parenting education, supports parent-child interactions, and helps women connect with resources and practice self-care. You may be able to join if you are pregnant or within three years postpartum and have a score of 10 or higher on the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression scale. The study aims to see if doulas can deliver YouMatter as intended and if it helps reduce symptoms of postpartum depression and trauma. The study plans to enroll 40 women.
