Abstract

Postpartum mood and anxiety disorders (PMAD), including postpartum depression, are more prevalent in parents of infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) than in the general population. Racial disparities exist in peripartum depression screening and treatment, and mental health resource access highlighting an area of need. Recent qualitative work amplifying the voices of marginalized families with an infant in the NICU identified culturally concordant family peer support groups as a method to mitigate NICU-related stressors. Our feasibility study evaluated attendance at racially and linguistically concordant NICU peer support groups.
