Pregnant and postpartum mothers may experience depression, anxiety, changes in mood, or notice an increase of worry and concern. Our intensive outpatient program will address these changes by providing a supportive and non-judgmental atmosphere where mothers will learn strategies for coping with postpartum depression and anxiety, develop skills to help them bond with their child/children, and learn ways to handle stressful situations.

Babies up to age 1 are welcome to join mom at the group. The group rooms are designed to provide a warm and welcoming environment with reclining chairs for each mom and baby.

Concepts covered in the group:

• Attachment Theory
• Interpersonal Therapy
• Distress Tolerance
• Emotional Regulation
• Interpersonal Effectiveness
• Core Mindfulness Skills
• Reducing Emotional, Cognitive, and Physical Vulnerability to Illness

The Mother and Baby Intensive Outpatient Program benefits include:

• Rapid access to care

• Improvement of symptoms for depression, mood disorder and anxiety
• Spending time with other mothers creating a supportive peer-to-peer environment
• Recommendations from Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD) psychiatric specialists for treatment options
