CTtP Overview

A research-to-impact initiative envisioning a future in which parents and children thrive from the very start, CTtP encompasses:

  1. The PerinatalPathways research lab, where we study perinatal mental health interventions and parenting before birth — the influence of pregnant women’s psychobiological experiences on children’s brain-behavior development; 
  2. PREPP: Practical Resources for Effective Postpartum Parenting, a brief, dyadically oriented intervention designed to prevent postpartum depression; and 
  3. Women’s Mental Health @Ob/Gyn (WMH @Ob/Gyn), our clinical service integrated into obstetrical practices, a model we also study as part of our health services research and that we aim to scale nationally via CTtP’s Blueprint.
