In 2013, The Postpartum Social Support Screening Tool was adapted by The Artemis Center for Guidance, LLC ™ from a questionnaire developed by the Advancing Diabetes Self-Management project at La Clinica de La Raza, Inc. in Oakland, CA, with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation® in Princeton, NJ.
We utilize this tool to help women and families identify their system’s various forms of social support. We use it as a treatment planning tool to assist women in strengthening their support system. It can create a powerful dialogue where women and families are empowered to strengthen their resources and use them to their fullest potential.
