Perinatal mental health care helps women take care of their emotional health during pregnancy and after having a baby. It focuses on treating new and existing mental health issues.

We are establishing a perinatal mental health care focus in our Parksville office with the goal of providing on-line and in-person care for any woman experiencing mental health challenges accompanying pregnancy, including attempts to get pregnant, the period of pregnancy, the loss of a pregnancy or child, and the post-birth period.

We are now scheduling appointments for 2025 with Caitlin. Appointments can be scheduled for 1.0 or 1.5 hours on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis.

To schedule an appointment, please send an e-mail to caitlin@icc.care, with a copy to office@icc.care.

There is mourning.

And there is grief.

Grief is mourning + celebration.

Celebration does not focus on what we have lost.

We celebrate instead that we had time to enjoy that person, that capability, that relationship.

How long should you grieve?

As long as you have something to celebrate.
