Description:
The co-morbidities of IPV and Postpartum Depression (PPD) affect pregnant women and their families, sometimes with extreme and/or preventable outcomes. The State and Community Intimate Partner Violence and Postpartum Depression Resource Development Project is a three-year initiative funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to work collaboratively with State and community-based programs to develop resources that will assist them with their efforts to address IPV/PPD as co-morbidities.
