Summary

This study tests whether a 9-week online group therapy program (cognitive behavioural therapy) can help fathers and non-birthing parents who have depression during their partner's pregnancy or the first 18 months after birth. 48 participants in Ontario will be randomly assigned to receive the therapy plus usual care, or usual care alone. The main goal is to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable.
