Success Story
Member Gets Special Care in a Time of Need
Postpartum depression, or the “baby blues,” happens to many mothers who have just had a baby. When a new mother found herself dealing with postpartum depression and unable to pay her rent, she reached out to a care manager through Priority Partners.
Her care manager stepped in and guided her through the steps to get emergency rental payment assistance. Soon after, the mother admitted that she had postpartum depression and was also struggling to buy needed items for her baby.
Her care manager helped her get screened for postpartum depression and connect with online treatment, support groups and other resources. With her care manager’s support, she enrolled in parenting classes at a local charity, which was able to also help supply her with baby items.
Since then, she has recovered and now enjoys sharing her experience with postpartum depression though her writing.
Priority Partners members who have a baby admitted to the NICU can receive special support. Working with Progeny Health, members are connected to resources and receive help adjusting to having a baby.
