CBT for Young Mothers

Summary

Approximately 1 in 4 adolescent mothers will develop depression after delivering a child, though some studies suggest that as many as 53% will develop postpartum depression. A frequent accompanying symptom is emotion dysregulation which not only adversely affects their mental well-being, but jeopardizes their parenting and their child's health. Unfortunately significant barriers exist for young mothers, preventing access to treatment. This study will pilot the feasibility of having public health nurses deliver this 9-session program within a curriculum for teen mothers.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

The transdiagnostic CBT-based curriculum is based on the extensive clinical experience of the research team with young women and those struggling with perinatal mental disorders. The team also has significant expertise delivering CBT for depression and anxiety (including perinatal variants) in groups. The manual was developed by the research team and is based on the state-of-the-art in resilience and CBT interventions in adolescents and young adults (e.g., the Penn Resiliency Program (60), Treatment for Adolescent Depression Study (61)). After it was developed, it was subjected to further scrutiny by public health nurses and STRIVE staff, who have extensive experience working with young mothers.
