Each year in the United States alone,
over 400,000 new mothers
suffer from severe postpartum
depression (PPD).
KBHC
has partnered Community Crisis to develop the PPD Moms Project. The
goal is to make screening new mothers for PPD a routine part of
prenatal and postnatal care, and provide guidance to treatment and
support.
