Post Partum Support Services (Depression)
Mental Health is an important part of health and well-being. The perinatal period is the time from pregnancy to childbirth to the first year postpartum. Mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety, as well as other disorders, can be experienced during this time. Poor mental health in the perinatal period has a negative impact on the mother's daily life and on the infant's mental health. Partners and children can struggle too. It can affect anyone in the family.

Information on Indigenous Services
Health and social services for Indigenous communities are often a combination of traditional healing, primary care, cultural programs, health promotion programs, resource centres, community development initiatives, and social support services. Indigenous peoples are the descendants of the original inhabitants of North America, who identify as First Nations, Métis, or Inuit.
The three First Nations communities closest in proximity to Middlesex County and the City of London are: Chippewa of the Thames First Nation (part of the Anishinaabe); Oneida Nation of the Thames (part of the Haudenosaunee); and, Munsee-Delaware Nation (part of the Leni-Lunaape).
Community Connectors are fundamental to helping Middlesex County families get connected to the services and supports they need. Contact or visit a Middlesex County Library to speak with a Community Connector.
