What We do

Private Care for parents

The CRD Perinatal Counselling Program delivers funded counselling to eligible new and expecting parents in the Greater Victoria area. This is a private mental health program. We operate with thanks for the charitable dollars of generous, local donors.

The counselling services we deliver allow moms and dads to access private counselling when they need and benefit from it in their family’s formative perinatal period.

Who We Serve

New & Expecting Parents

We provide counselling and therapy to pregnant and postpartum mothers and their partners. We deliver counselling services when parents need them. And when they can benefit from coounselling, but would not be able to access counselling on their own.

As well, we provide perinatal grief and loss counselling. This is for parents when a major loss occurs before after birth.

Babies change us in unexpected ways.
Why We do this work

Baby Care begins with parent Care

Our services promote a healthy start for families with new babies in our community. How? By helping parents address their mental health challenges that get triggered or show up in the perinatal period. Often, this is unexpected.

We are here for you because we care about you and each member of your family.

Who we connect with

Primary Care Providers

We connect with primary care providers in Greater Victoria who refer eligible patients for counselling.

This website is for new and expecting parents. But at least as much, it is for health professionals who refer perinatal patients counselling.

We deliver mental health care to the parents you provide care for.

“Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn’t know you had and dealing with fears you didn’t know existed.”
