that 22% of mothers in Alberta have reported feelings consistent with postpartum depression or an anxiety disorder?

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re shining a light on maternal mental health and its impact on women throughout their lives.

Hear from Dr Dawn Kingston and Dr. Lori Pollard in a previous Lois Hole Hospital Women's Society Between Us lecture, where they discuss maternal mental health, the stigmas surrounding postpartum depression, and the wider effects of mental health on mothers.

Today is National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit People ( ).

Today is a call for all of us to come together so Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people no longer have to live in fear. Help us build a world where everyone feels safe and protected. Let the red dress be more than a symbol—let it be a call to action for all of us to listen, learn, and stand in solidarity. 💜
