OUR MISSION

To end the isolation and distress experienced by many women and their families with

the profound life change that accompanies the birth or adoption of a child.

OUR VISION

Our vision is for knowledgeable and caring perinatal support to be commonplace and readily available for families everywhere.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

The philosophy of the Society is that women who experience postpartum depression and/or anxiety benefit from receiving non-judgmental support from women who have been through it themselves.

Call the Postpartum Support Line at (604) 255-7999

An estimated 1 out of every 6 women experiences troubling depression or anxiety after the birth or adoption of a child. This is referred to as postpartum depression (PPD) and can be a tremendously stressful time for the family.

PPD is often characterized by despondency, emotional instability, anger, guilt, tearfulness, worrying, anxious thoughts or images, feelings of inadequacy and the inability to cope. It may occur shortly after the arrival of a new baby or many months later. For some women, symptoms may begin in pregnancy. If you are experiencing any symptoms, and your youngest child younger than three-years-old, please call. We can help.
