NORTH BAY – Attendees of the 9th annual Anishinabek Nation Health Conference shed tears and learned a lot about pregnancy and infant loss from Michelle La Fontaine, Program Manager of the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre’s Pregnancy and Infant Loss (PAIL) Network, on Oct. 18 at the Best Western Hotel and Conference Centre in North Bay, Ont.
What is the PAIL Network?
The PAIL Network is peer-led support at no cost to any family in Ontario. They provide education for health care and service professionals and also raise awareness and advocate for families.
“We need to provide Indigenous support from Indigenous people for Indigenous people,” says La Fontaine.
