About the Program
Nearly 85% of all mothers experience some form of depression after giving birth. To help South Jersey families meet this very common, very real challenge, SNJPC offers a range of services to support the improved diagnosis and treatment of perinatal mood disorders.
Long concerned with perinatal mental health, the agency accelerated its postpartum depression (PPD) services in response to a 2006 New Jersey law that requires all pregnant women to be educated about PPD and screened for the disease.
The Cooperative provides public and professional PPD education, works to improve access to treatment services, and helps providers to comply with the education and screening mandates of the new state law.
