Summary

Postpartum depression (PPD) affects up to one in five of women and has profound effects on mothers and their infants. Unfortunately, fewer than 15% of women with PPD receive evidence-based care. This is at least partly due to significant difficulties faced by women in accessing psychotherapies, their preferred treatment for PPD. Around the world, there is a significant lack of healthcare professionals trained to deliver CBT. This study will utilize a randomized controlled trial design (with wait-list controls) and recruit 174 participants to determine if women with a past history of PPD (i.e., lay peers) can be trained to deliver effective group CBT online to women currently struggling with PPD. If peers can be trained to provide effective CBT, more women would receive treatment and the burden of PPD on women, families, and the healthcare system would be significantly reduced.
