It cites figures: nearly one in four new mothers in British Columbia experience postpartum depression or anxiety; almost half of women in BC saw their mental health decline during the pandemic; more than 40% did not get the mental health support they needed.
Programs supported include Reproductive Mental Health Services, with plans noted for a unit where mothers could be admitted with their babies, an Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Program, and Menopause and Midlife Women’s Health services. The description also mentions digital and specialized initiatives such as PostpartumCare.ca and the Families in Recovery program. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
