New Thompson, Man., program provides birth helpers for First Nations mothers

New Thompson, Man., program provides birth helpers for First Nations mothers | Indigenous Stories and Education | Scoop.it

She Carries Life is a program that provides helpers for expectant mothers from First Nations in northern Manitoba. The helpers can help mothers navigate the health-care system when they go to Thompson for birth. Mothers in many northern communities, especially First Nations, go to the hospital for medical care and to deliver their babies. Doing that can be isolating — separating mothers from their homes, communities, families, culture and even language.

Here Magazine's insight:

📰 Why We Chose This Story for Our Top 5 This Week →

Because no one should have to leave home, family, language and culture behind to give birth. 🧡 We love that She Carries Life is making that journey a little less lonely—bringing connection, comfort and a piece of home with women when they have to leave their communities.
