Each year in the United States,  over 400,000 new mothers  suffer from severe postpartum  depression (PPD). KBHC has partnered Community Crisis to develop the PPD Moms Project. The goal is to make screening new mothers for PPD a routine part of prenatal and postnatal care, and provide guidance to treatment and support. For further information and PPD resources, call 1-800-PPD-MOMS.
