About MOM

MOM is a new and exciting distance treatment research program for women with postpartum depression.

With MOM you can overcome depression in the comfort and privacy of your own home. You can learn valuable skills that will help you deal with depression and learn how to prevent depression from coming back.

The MOM treatment program is a cognitive behavioural therapy, which combines both changing thoughts and behaviour to overcome depression. The treatment uses manuals, videos and weekly telephone sessions with a coach. Your coach is trained to provide support and help guide your through the treatment.

The MOM program is a partnership with Public Health Services and researchers at the IWK Health Centre. Together Public Health has formed an advisory committee and will play an active and important role in recruiting women to be screened for treatment in Cumberland, Colchester, East Hants and Pictou counties.
