Pregnancy and Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorder Program 

About Us

Having a baby is an event to celebrate. But for some, this joy is disrupted by postpartum depression and/or anxiety. At the Alexian Brothers Pregnancy and Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorder Program, we know how depression and anxiety can affect your ability to care for your child and we are here to help. Our caring staff of specialists provides a number of services that include:

• Prenatal and labor and delivery room screening for risk of postpartum depression.
• Support groups for women, couples and dads.
• During your hospital stay, education is offered about the signs and symptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety to help you and your family members identify when to contact a professional.
• Outpatient consultations and evaluations.
• Collaboration with lactation consultants, dietitians, home health nurses, mental health professionals, physicians, nurses, counselors, community agencies and health services, and women who assist with childbirth, known as doulas.
• A respite program that provides day or night care for both you and your baby.
• Spanish-speaking consultations, evaluations, and support groups.
