Attendees will leave this training with the knowledge of the following: the benefits of screening, correct administration of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Screening (EPDS), how to score the assessment, interpretation of scores, reviewing materials with family members, and completing appropriate follow-up and referrals.
Our goal in providing this training is that programs and staff can effectively administer the EPDS screening within their scope of work to identify women at risk for postpartum depression, as well as, referring those women to any services needed to assist with managing that outcome.
