Music And Motherhood
Although there are increasing clinical evidence for the effectiveness of using targeted singing groups to reduce symptoms of postpartum depression, little work has been done to test the translatability of this kind of intervention in different linguistic and cultural contexts.
The goal of this pilot project is to explore how "Music and Motherhood", a clinically effective group singing intervention for new mums in the UK needs to be adapted to meet local needs, investigating the feasibility of implementation and perceived impact on mental health and wellbeing of participants in Romania and Denmark.
In Cluj-Napoca, Romania the research project will involve two groups (Romanian and Hungarian speaking mothers) of a number of eight to twelve new mothers experiencing postpartum depression symptoms in a 10-week group singing intervention, facilitated by professional singing leaders.
In this project, Cluj Cultural Centre, is working together with the Central Denmark Region under supervision of the WHO Regional Office for Europe.
