National Report: Time For Action – Why Canada Needs A National Perinatal Mental Health Strategy Now

May 2021

On May 5th, the day our Report was released, MP Heather McPherson presented a Motion in the House of Commons asking for support for a National Perinatal Mental Health Strategy and to delcare the first Wednesday of May annually as World Maternal Mental Health Day which the Government of Canada and all parties agreed to UNANIMOUSLY!

 While it’s not binding, meaning the government doesn’t have to act on the motion, it is an extremely positive step in the right direction!
