This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a parenting program called Circle of Security Parenting (COSP) to see if it can help mothers who are experiencing postpartum depression. The program runs for 8 weeks and is delivered online via Zoom. Researchers will measure whether the program improves mothers' depression symptoms and strengthens the connection between mothers and their babies.
Postpartum depression is a serious condition that affects many new mothers, and it can impact both the mother's wellbeing and the baby's development. This trial exists to see whether a parenting skills program focused on building a secure, loving relationship between mother and baby can help reduce depression symptoms and promote healthy outcomes for both.

If you're selected for the immediate treatment group, you'll attend an 8-week parenting skills program on Zoom. Throughout the study, you and your baby will have several appointments where researchers collect information through questionnaires, observations of you playing with your baby, and small biological samples (like a cheek swab). These appointments happen before the program starts, halfway through, at the end, and at follow-up visits. If you're assigned to the waitlist group, you'll complete the same assessments while waiting and then start the program later.
