Timeline
Interventions
The course is a manualized stress-reduction intervention with an integrated tech suite designed for timely detection and response to stress. Based on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy \& attachment theory, MB is divided into 3 sections: Pleasant Activities; Thoughts; Contact with Others. Each module has been enhanced with mindfulness as a strategy to help "center" participants and facilitate practice of skills. Participants receive skills training in each of the three sections as tools to improve and manage their mood. The MB course emphasizes developing \& strengthening the bond with the baby. The technology enhancement includes wearing a BioStamp sensor, and text message-based extra intervention content. Participants get worksheets linked to the 12 sessions.
