A novel app-based cognitive behavioral perinatal skills program: A case series.

ABSTRACT: Despite the impact and prevalence of maternal mental illness, access to evidence-based treatment remains limited. This article examines the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of a 12-session cognitive behavioral therapy-based mobile intervention tailored to pregnant and postpartum individuals, Maya Perinatal Skills Program (Maya PSP), based on responses from three English-speaking perinatal individuals over age 18 who participated in an open pilot trial between 8 May 2024 and 14 January 2025.

This research underscores the potential of digital interventions to expand access to mate
