Newborn's Care

What We Believe

THESE STATEMENTS GUIDE OUR WORK IN THE WORLD.

  • We strive to bring trauma-informed care into the conversations pertaining to perinatal mental health and motherhood.

  • We recognize that the birth experience impacts the postpartum experience and beyond.

  • We believe that a healthy Mother is central to the health of the family unit.

  • We want to shine the light on Motherhood as a valuable role in society and an identity to actively embrace.

  • We believe that being a mother is both a noun and a verb.

  • We believe that every person's story of motherhood is uniquely theirs.

  • We believe that your journey of becoming a mother impacts your experience of being a mother.

  • We believe that reverence is a key aspect of the initiatory journey of motherhood.

What We Stand For

  • We recognize that historical oppression, racism, and unresolved trauma can negatively impact mothers

  • We understand that marginalized and vulnerable populations of women and people are at greater risk of childbirth trauma and perinatal mood disorders and that they have a harder time accessing mental health services

  • We recognize the devastating impact that colonization has had on our First Nations people and their birthing families

  • We seek to uphold, support, and encourage our Indigenous peoples’ traditional ways of tending to a pregnant woman’s and families needs

  • We strive to reduce the stigma associated with therapy, so as to inspire mothers to reach out for therapeutic support both preventatively and proactively

  • We understand that not all of our clients identify as a woman or mother

  • We seek to understand perinatal mood disorders with a wider gaze taking into consideration many factors: historical trauma, colonization, conception, sexuality, gender identity, pregnancy, birth, feeding, postpartum, attachment and parenthood onwards
