Family Resources

There are programs and services that can help families who may face extra challenges during pregnancy and early parenting.

This support may be available for families who:

• have a low income
• live far from services or feel isolated from their community
• are experiencing a teenage pregnancy, substance use concerns, or family violence
• face barriers because of racism, discrimination, language, culture, disability, gender identity, or other social factors
• are Indigenous, newcomers to Canada, members of racialized communities, or gender-diverse families

These programs can help connect families with healthcare, parenting support, community services, and other resources to support their health and well-being. If you think you may benefit from extra support, talk to your healthcare provider or a community service organization. They can help you find programs and services in your area.
