Immediate Treatment Condition (ITC)
Mother Matters Online Postpartum Support Group. Participants will be assigned to begin immediately after randomization.
Mother Matters Online Postpartum Support Group
Mother Matters is a 10-week online support group for women with postpartum depression. It involves: 1) A private, online forum that can be accessed by participants 24-hours per day. During regular business hours (9:00 am to 5:00 pm on weekdays) it is moderated by a psychotherapist, and there is a weekly moderated "live" chat hour; 2) Weekly topics with readings are provided with questions to prompt discussion on the online forum. Topics incorporate symptom management (i.e. Interpersonal Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and affect regulation strategies (i.e. Mindfulness, DBT) with a supportive counselling approach. External resources related to each week's topic, are also shared.
Waitlist Control Condition (WLC)
Mother Matters Online Postpartum Support Group. Participants will receive the intervention after the Immediate Treatment Condition group completes the intervention, and after follow-up data are collected from both groups.
