Postpartum Emotional
and Mental Health Course
Support your well-being as you adjust to life with a new baby, because caring for yourself matters too.
A new baby brings joy and challenges.
This course is here to support you.
Whether you’re a new parent, expecting another baby, or supporting someone who is, this free, self-directed course offers practical ways to care for your emotional and mental well-being during the postpartum period.
Created with the support of the Canadian Perinatal Mental Health Collaborative, this course is designed to help you feel less alone and more empowered during this important transition.
There is a secret in our culture, and it’s not that birth is painful. It’s that women are strong.
- Laura Stavoe Harm

“Not long ago, you brought another human being into this world: a precious, but demanding bundle of needs that has turned your world upside down, and in the process, changed every idea you had about yourself, your purpose, and your path.
Whatever you feel, don't judge yourself - parenting is hard enough.”
You’re not alone.
Many new parents experience emotional ups and downs, and that’s completely normal. This course provides a safe, judgment-free space to learn, reflect, and build resilience at your own pace.
