When a family welcomes a new child into the world, it’s supposed to be a time of happiness. Yet for many new mothers, maternal depression dampens this joy. Left untreated, it can damage their ability to bond with their young child. Post-partum depression and depression during pregnancy are common, but they often go undiagnosed.
The Healthy Babies Program helps screen women for maternal depression and connects them to appropriate resources and treatment. For more information, visit the Healthy Babies website or call 530-225-5850.
Additional resources:
