A maternal mental health intervention for pregnant women in low-resource settings in Kenya. The study found a high need for mental health support among perinatal women in the study region, with more than one-third of screened women showing depressive symptoms. The pilot showed that integrating a contextualized group-based mental health intervention within routine antenatal care settings in primary healthcare was feasible. The policy brief provides several recommendations to policymakers, the community, and pregnant mothers in western Kenya to enhance their access to much-needed mental health support.
