Mental Health and Addictions Minister Lori Carr says the Saskatchewan Perinatal Health Network gives Saskatchewan families access to mental health support during the life-changing experience of pregnancy and the birth of a baby,

This after the Government of Saskatchewan announced $100,000 in new annual funding for the program.

The Saskatchewan Perinatal Health Network supports women and their partners who experience or are at risk of developing a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder. The new funding from the provincial government will enable the network to expand its peer support outreach to communities outside Regina. They will also introduce an online booking platform and increase virtual appointments.
