After nine long months of pregnancy, the day that you get to meet your new sweet baby is finally here! This special time is supposed to be filled with feelings of pure joy and unconditional love for your new child. What many people don’t realize is that one in five new mothers suffer silently from Postpartum Mood & Anxiety Disorders like Postpartum Depression (PPD) and Anxiety, making it the number one birth complication to date.
Our goal is to not only start this conversation right here in Regina and across the province helping to end the stigma attached to maternal mental illness, we also want to create easier access to education and support during this difficult time and provide new mothers the tools and support they need to reclaim their health as soon as possible.
