BeAMom is a web-based psychological intervention designed to promote maternal mental health (by preventing postpartum depression and promoting wellbeing) in the postpartum period.
BeAMom is a self-guided short-term intervention, developed upon the third-generation CBT-approaches (self-compassion and acceptance and commitment therapies) applied to the specificities of the perinatal context. It has a modular set-up that is updated weekly, with each of the 5 modules addressing 1 or 2 specific thematic contents (e.g., emotions, cognitions, social support). In each module, participants will be provided with psychoeducational content (text format, audio, video and animations) and therapeutic strategies, with interactive and feedback tools to support learning.
The concept and content of the BeAMom was developed by the research team and the technical development was conducted by our technology company partner, Redlight Software.
