Overview

Picture

​As service providers with CPNP we work to help vulnerable pregnant women to stay healthy and have healthy babies by reducing the incidence of unhealthy birth weights and improve the health of both infant and mother. CPNP projects also increase availability of culturally sensitive prenatal support for Aboriginal women.

Community-based groups and coalitions receive support to increase access to health and social supports for prenatal and recently postpartum women facing challenging circumstances such as:
  • poverty
  • teen pregnancy
  • social and geographic isolation
  • recent arrival to Canada
  • substance abuse
  • family violence
  • poor access to services



Making A Difference

Picture

The program makes a difference by funding community groups and coalitions to increase access to health and social supports for prenatal and recently postpartum women in challenging circumstances that put their health and the health of their infants at risk.  More than 95 percent of projects target pregnant women living in poverty, teens, or women living in isolation or with poor access to services.

CPNP projects offer comprehensive services, tailored to meet participant needs.  On average, participants begin the program 5 months before baby is born and stay for 4 months after baby's birth.   
A range of services provided may include:

  • nutrition counseling
  • prenatal vitamins, food and food coupons
  • prenatal health and lifestyle counseling
  • breast-feeding education and support
  • food preparation training
  • education and support on infant care and child development
  • referrals to other agencies and services
