Read our Depression research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing Mom-Net, an online therapy program designed specifically for mothers struggling with depression. The program teaches practical skills to manage depression while also helping improve how you interact with your children. Researchers want to see if this treatment works better than usual support, and whether having weekly coaching calls or just occasional check-ins works best.
Many low-income mothers experience depression but never get help for it. This treatment was created to reach mothers where they already are—at their children's school programs—and to make mental health care easier to access from home.

If you join, you'll use the Mom-Net program online at home and receive coaching support from a Head Start staff member. Depending on which group your site is assigned to, you'll either have weekly phone calls (20-30 minutes each) or a few brief check-in calls spread over 6 weeks. The program teaches you skills to manage depression in ways that also help your parenting and your child's wellbeing.
