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 whether a psychoeducational program called "What Were We Thinking" (WWWT) can help prevent postpartum depression and anxiety in first-time mothers. The program consists of two educational sessions designed to teach new mothers coping skills and ways of thinking that protect mental health after having a baby. Researchers will compare mothers who receive standard postpartum care alone with mothers who receive standard care plus the WWWT program to see which approach is more effective at preventing these common and serious conditions.
Postpartum depression and anxiety affect many new mothers and can significantly impact their wellbeing and ability to bond with their babies. This trial exists to find out whether an early educational intervention can prevent these conditions from developing in the first place, offering a practical tool that primary care services can use to protect new mothers' mental health.

If you join this study, you'll first complete some questionnaires about your mood and wellbeing when your baby is 2–4 weeks old. Then, within the first 6 weeks postpartum, you'll either receive standard postpartum care or standard care plus two educational sessions about managing difficult thoughts and feelings. At 3 and 6 months after giving birth, you'll complete the same questionnaires again and have a brief interview to check on your mental health. If you receive the educational program, you'll also be asked to fill out a short anonymous feedback survey.
