Today is World Mental Health Day!!

This year, the focus is on “mental health in humanitarian emergencies. It asks us to consider not just the scale of the challenge, but the strength of the response possible when communities lead the way….I’ve also seen what happens when we share that weight by leaning on one another.”
- Lili-Anna Perras C.Q.; President & CEO; Mental Health Commission of Canada -

There’s a lot happening in the world right now - and likely a lot happening in YOUR world. Today we are reminded that we can do this - together. Community is a powerful factor in bolstering mental health and healing - something we believe in wholeheartedly at SRPWC.

Many factors and influences in our society right now drive us to lean too hard into the direction of individuality, competition, and productivity. It is a positive act of resistance to continue to reach for each other and work together in collaboration and community.

We know many people in the perinatal stages are feeling their capacity is stretched. It can feel like a lot to help out in the larger world when you are trying to keep yours together.

Giving care to your mental health/wellness and accepting help IS one very important way of helping our larger communities.

Please don’t underestimate the power of this and the power of YOU. This isn’t an expectation to “meet up to” - it’s already in you, ready to be lit up. So we hope you will add one thing in your day that lights you up and connects you to mental wellness and community.

In honour of the day, BC Parliament will be lighting up in green, as a collaborative effort with BC Association of British Columbia. Join us in spreading a little light - even if that means in one little corner of your world.

So happy to once again be a part of such a meaningful event with
🩷🫶🏻.

Each year participants gather to show solidarity, support, and community around experiences of pregnancy loss, infant loss and infertility. The event was such a huge success and funds raised means more support for those impacted.

It was such a joy and treat to cheer on this year’s participants - and share a few laughs, hugs and cowbells along the way.

If this is your experience, we want you to know there are supports and people out there who get it. Reach out for you, or a friend, and we would love to help you get connected.

We have one spot left in our Healthy Baby, Healthy Me program for parent-baby postnatal wellbeing!

Interested in joining? Go to info@southrockperinatal.com and fill out our registration form and we will be in touch from there. Hope to see you there!

Curious what it is like? Below past participants share more about their experience in the program:

“I thoroughly enjoyed the 6 week program and I am grateful that such a workshop exists. It was very beneficial to me from a mental health standpoint to get out and meet other moms as well as learning some valuable information along the way. Leanne did a fantastic job facilitating and providing resources to take away as I navigate being a new mom. I would highly recommend.”

“I loved the Healthy Baby, Healthy Me program. The topics were super relevant and the guest speakers each week were all excellent. Leanne is a great facilitator and has truly created a safe and friendly space for new moms. Any new moms looking for a mom community with expert advice should do this program in a heartbeat. Bonus that the price point is very affordable.”

“I had such a wonderful experience over the past six weeks with South Rock Perinatal Wellness Collective. Leanne was incredibly organized and communicative, which made everything run smoothly and helped me feel at ease from the start. I felt genuinely supported throughout the program—not only by Leanne but also through the sense of community that developed with the other moms and their babies. It was such a comfort to share this time with others going through similar experiences. The content was thoughtfully balanced, offering valuable insights and support for both moms and babies. Each session felt purposeful, whether we were focusing on postpartum wellness or learning more about our little ones. I’m so grateful for the connection, care, and knowledge I gained—this program has been a meaningful part of my postpartum journey.”

Honouring Truth and Reconciliation - today and everyday.

Indigenous parents and parent-child bonds have been disproportionately impacted in the perinatal period and beyond - not only as a direct result of residential schools, but ongoing systemic inequities and inter generational trauma.

Today we hold the hearts of those grieving and our own grief, as allies committed to do better.

We aim to move beyond reconciliation and towards a deeper repair. Beyond the performative, to the genuine. Beyond distant compassion, to safe relationships.

The walk continues… we invite all those involved with SRPWC to commit to walking this path with us.

We promise to not only

Hello parents of babies and little ones! We wanted to let you know of a special upcoming event on Sept 22nd!

Many parents wonder how to best protect their little one’s future. Often, it’s after the birth of a baby that parents start to consider writing a will and have questions about how best to ensure their baby’s future wellbeing.

Having reliable information can be a key way to reduce anxiety around these concerns. Curious to know what steps you can take that are fitting for your family, as well as available resources?

Sept 22 at 9:15, parents with babies 0-18months are invited to a special session of Baby Belugas program at White Rock Gymnastics. Enjoy active time with your little one and access information from Brooke Fernandes of KSW Lawyers regarding wills, trusts, and general estate planning info.

In this meet and greet, you are welcome to ask questions and chat informally. Please note that this is an info session rather than personal legal advice. It is intended to make these topics feel a little more approachable and provide you with the opportunity to expand your knowledge in this area.

Visit https://www.southrockperinatal.com/communityevents for more info and link to register!

Stay tuned for more upcoming fall events and programs with South Rock Perinatal Wellness Collective!
