“We can never say for sure, but we know that if Flora had been properly assessed and treated for perinatal mental illness, it’s highly possible she would still be with us here today and her baby would still have her mother.”
Programming at the Timber Cafe will include speakers, selfcare activities, refreshments and snacks, takehome items and giveaway prizes.
The rate of perinatal mental illness has risen from 1 in 5 pre-pandemic to 1 in 3, with 40 per cent of women and 20 percent of men in Canada currently suffering from a perinatal mental illness, and rates are even higher for marginalized people.
“We want to make sure what happened to Flora never happens again to anyone in Canada; it is simply unacceptable,” said Jaime Charlebois, co-founder and co-executive director of CPMHC.
“Perinatal mental illness is treatable and supports are available.”
