Postpartum depression support

It's not uncommon to experience postpartum depression within the first year of your baby's birth. If you think you may have this condition, please know it is highly treatable and that we are here for you with complete behavioral health services. Talk to your OBGYN about symptoms and treatment options available in our family of hospitals.

If you are unable to care for your newborn, you can give up custody anonymously at any hospital in Utah, including ours, which is a Utah Newborn Safe Haven facility. Together, we are here to help.
