This community-based participatory research seeks to use photovoice and critical social theory to help develop culturally safe services for perinatal depression in rural India. This will involve partnering with Mata Jai Kaur Maternal and Child Clinic, which provides care to women from 558 villages in rural Rajasthan, India. the clinic has trained lay counsellors to screen women for depression during pregnancy and after birth, and to deliver talk therapy. The lay counsellors have found that the services for depression during pregnancy and after birth are not culturally safe.
