Stronger Together

Join us! We are back in action with our virtual coffee chats! This is a great opportunity to meet parents that are in the trenches with you and provide support to one another. Connection is key in the physically-distanced world and we have had some great conversations in our Zoom chats.

Wow! It has been a hot minute since we have checked in. We thought it would be a good idea to update all of you on what has been going on! Since the beginning of the pandemic, we ran our weekly coffee chats together with Jennifer, facilitator of Beyond the Blues via The Bridge Youth and Family Services. Each Friday, we had virtual coffee chats with mothers from all different walks of life where we talked about our fears, triumphs, and everything in between. We met some amazing women and created some amazing bonds between us and the attendees. We have taken a bit of a break to regroup, refocus and see where we want to head next, but will be back in action very soon. Stay tuned to hear more about our plans for the future!

In our experience researching topics like postpartum depression and anxiety, we have seen time and time again that Indigenous women and women of colour are suffering the effects of PPD and PPA at higher rates. These two articles outline the inequality these women face when dealing with perinatal mood disorders: https://ipolitics.ca//indigenous-mothers-seven-times-more/ https://postpartumprogress.com/women-color-maternal-mental-... We stand in solidarity against systemic racism and oppression. #enoughisenough.
