Mothers and mothers-to-be could use a helping hand at times. This guide is designed to help mothers find the resources that may help them and their families. Each mother who is screened through the Maternal Depression Screening Program is given a Guide for Moms irrespective of whether they score positive or negative on the EPDS. All counties participating in the Maternal Depression Screening Program are responsible for creating an insert for the Guide for Moms that is specific to their county. These inserts should list available resources. Please see the example from Cuyahoga County below.
The Guide for Moms:
1) Helps mothers to think about their personal and family needs.
2) Gives mothers information about people, services, or resources that may help them through pregnancy and beyond.
3) Encourages mothers to seek help when they are struggling or their families need help.
"A Guide for Moms: Resources for mothers-to-be and mothers of young children" was created at Case Western Reserve University under the direction of Amy Heneghan, MD with major funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
The Guide for Moms is attached below. This is the newly revised version. We have copies available to anyone who would like to distribute the Guide for Moms.
