Summary

The aim of this study is to explore the feasibility of delivering clinical mindfulness groups for families affected with postpartum depression and anxiety (PPDA). Families with PPDA are a vulnerable population who already face challenges during the postpartum period, but now the Covid-19 era has brought extra challenges - lower availability of family members or support systems to help in person, older children at home as childcare facilities are closed, etc. Clinical mindfulness groups are now being run online to support this population, with the current barriers of having to stay at home. Through this study, we want to capture the challenges that both clinicians and participants might face using virtual platforms (e.g. technical difficulties), to see whether online delivery of clinical mindfulness groups is feasible.
