This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
The ROSE program is a 7-session support intervention designed to help pregnant women prevent postpartum depression before and after delivery. The study will test whether attending weekly group sessions—either online or in person—along with one individual session after birth can reduce stress, boost social support, and improve overall wellbeing for new mothers. Researchers will measure changes in mood and stress levels to see if the program works.
Postpartum depression affects many new mothers and can be serious, but it is often preventable if caught early. This study exists to see whether supporting pregnant women who show early signs of depression risk or have experienced trauma can help them stay mentally healthy after their babies are born.

If you join the ROSE program group, you will attend 6 weekly sessions—either online through a video platform or in person at the clinic—followed by one individual session after your baby is born. If you are in the comparison group, you will complete questionnaires about your stress, mood, and support system at three different times. All participants will answer questions about their mental health, stress levels, and life experiences at the beginning, throughout, and after the program.
