World Maternal Mental Health Week:
April 28th - May 5th, 2024
We focus on perinatal mental health this week for the millions navigating the difficult journey through fertility, loss, pregnancy and parenthood. Here at home in NL, 28% of women have identified struggling during their pregnancy and postpartum which has increased during this pandemic.
Let's start here and now to make changes so that our generations can be healthy for years to come.
