About The Center for Postpartum Health
Pregnancy and birth are a time of tremendous transition and change. The
Center for Postpartum Health was started in order to address the
psychological and emotional needs of the postpartum woman and her
family.
Services include:

changes that will occur after delivery, offering them an opportunity to
share their expectations and concerns. Helps women understand the
symptoms of depression, how to identify their risks and get appropriate
treatment.
The postpartum passage:

forum for women to begin to talk about some of the changes they are
experiencing as they make the transition from womanhood to motherhood.
Especially geared for women dealing with postpartum depression.
Just for couples - after the baby comes:

relationship that normally occur as they make the transition to
