Let us help you comply with the major initiative to combat postpartum depression that was signed into law as part of the health insurance reform law.

New Jersey already mandates screening and education for every postpartum woman. 

In Pennsylvania, the Prenatal and Postpartum Counseling and Screening Act, Senate Bill 151 and House Bill 1122 would establish a program to help mothers identify and cope with perinatal depression.

The PPSC Screening Guidelines for the Informed Practice were developed to assist healthcare providers in identifying women who suffer from perinatal mood and anxiety symptoms. The PPSC screening guidelines include diagnostic aids and patient education materials.  

The PPSC offers these guidelines to healthcare practitioners and medical offices that practice awareness and state-of-the-art clinical intervention on behalf of pregnant and postpartum women.

We can help you design a screening protocol that best suits the needs of your office.

The Postpartum Stress Center now offers these training options:

• On-site one (1) hour inservice (lunch, early morning, late afternoon, weekend).

• Group trainings held at the PPSC in Rosemont for practices who wish to offer training to clinical and office staff members from multiple locations.

• The PPSC Screening Guidelines are included in the training.

• Call us and let us know what you are interested in and we will customize a training for your practice.
