Summary

This study tested whether a 12-session parenting group therapy, called the Connecting and Reflecting Experience (CARE) program, is helpful and doable for new parents struggling with postpartum depression or anxiety. Seventeen parents of babies aged 3 to 12 months took part. The goal was to see if the program could improve mental health, reduce parenting stress, and strengthen the bond with their baby.
