28% of mothers in Newfoundland and Labrador will experience a significant mood disorder during and after pregnancy, possibly leading to a more severe mental illness.

The Perinatal Mental Health Alliance of Newfoundland and Labrador has been created to improve the care provided to birthing persons and their families.

The Carbonear General Hospital – NLHS Rural Eastern Zone Team are hosting the 3rd Annual Flora’s Walk on Saturday, May 4th at the George W. Earle Promenade.

Portion of Flora’s Walk donations from this event will help Carbonear General Hospital – NLHS Rural Eastern Zone Team continue to provide its Perinatal Mental Health Pathway, which is the first of its kind in the province!
