The Aboriginal Family Centre in Happy–ValleyGoose Bay is opening its doors to more moms and offering longer support programs.
The Healthy Baby Club used to be for Indigenous women only, but that’s changed.
“The real point of it being is that we want to be able to provide as much resource and supports [as we can] for pregnant moms across Labrador,” says Arlene Michelin, who is resource mother with the club.
Group sessions are offered on a variety of topics that moms-to-be need to know, including nutrition, breastfeeding and car seat installation.
