Post-Partum Depression Awareness Campaign Update

Speak Up When You Are Down[1]

 

 

 

Post-Partum Depression Awareness Training
 

On September 19, 2006, the Public Policy Committee recommended that the Board of Bishops support clergy and pastoral assistants participating in Post-Partum Depression Awareness training.  The PPC also asked the Bishops to designate a contact in each diocese to participate in an ad hoc coordinating group Chaired by Marlene Laó-Collins.

 

The Board of Bishops approved the PPC recommendation and on Friday, May 25, 2007 announced the formal start-up of the program at a press conference at the Newark Archdiocese Center.
