dc.description.abstractPostpartum depression can be a serious concern for new families and parents. Many families face marginalized care and support during this challenging period. Using the Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory and Crenshaw’s intersectionality theory as guiding frameworks, this capstone examines how systemic factors, including socioeconomic status, cultural identity, and access to healthcare, intersect to shape the postpartum experiences of individuals. By exploring current evidence in research and literature reviews, the capstone will investigate the various risk and protective factors that influence the postpartum experience. The capstone will also explore various evidence-based treatment interventionss to identify a multidisciplinary approach to perinatal mental health care. Implications for the review, limitations, recommendations and future research are discussed, aiming to enhance equity and accessibility in perinatal mental health support across diverse populations.
