Abstract

In Australia, perinatal depression affects over 100,000 new parents, and costs the Australian economy over $433.53 million per year in lost productivity. For every $1spent internationally, and in Australia on early intervention programs for perinatal depression there is a $15 saving. Research has shown that programs that directly address depression, anxiety and attachment for mothers with perinatal depression can improve depression and anxiety by 50%. The use of early detection, prevention and intervention programs for parents and children has the potential to improve life course outcomes for infants and children. The program evaluated in this research project directly addresses parental anxiety and depression and provides supported play groups and play therapy for infants and children.
