✨ Exciting news! ✨

Our CEO will be speaking at , the 10th Digital Mental Health Global Congress hosted by the eMental Health International Collaborative (eMHIC).

Her session, Nurturing Strong Beginnings: Evaluating a Distance Skill-Based Mental Health and Parenting Support Program for the Perinatal–2-Year Period, will highlight the evaluation of an evidence-based approach to strengthen support for new parents during the early stage of a child’s life.

💡 She'll be sharing:

🔹 Background on Strongest Families Institute’s (SFI) system of care - an award-winning social innovation leveraging the advantages of technology and SFI’s coaching model showcasing scalability based on the Newfoundland & Labrador provincial example

🔹 Why the perinatal–2-year period is such a critical window for attachment, child development, and parental mental wellness

🔹 Overview of the Strongest Beginnings Newfoundland and Labrador-based clinical series study design

🔹 How SFI used a co-design approach to “get it right by design,” integrating community voices and opinions of key interest groups to inform the program

🔹 Early insights from our Newfoundland and Labrador-based clinical series evaluating this six-week, CBT-based intervention, focused on mental health and well-being, positive parenting, and attachment skills

At Strongest Families, we’re proud to deliver scalable, evidence-based mental health solutions across the lifespan using a stepped care model—providing equitable support when and where families need it most. With Strongest Beginnings, we are addressing a crucial gap in perinatal mental health services. This research project lays the foundation for healthier families and stronger beginnings for children.
