More Information
Summary:The postpartum period presents unique challenges to couples' relationships and sexuality, yet these factors are often left unaddressed by health care providers. The Women's Postpartum Sexual Health Program (WPSHP), a four-session, group- and couples-based program delivered by an interdisciplinary care team at a family practice center, was designed specifically to address common concerns among postpartum women and their partners. The interrelated, biopsychosocial aspects of women's sexuality in the postpartum period are summarized, followed by a detailed description of the WPSHP content and structure. This information is intended to serve as a practical resource for implementation and adaptation of the WPSHP across different practice settings.
