Support for NICU families
If your baby arrived early or is in the NICU, you don't have to navigate it alone. A NICU stay is its own difficult road, and there is free support for families going through it — no referral needed.
Canadian Premature Babies Foundation (CPBF)
Canada-wide · Free
Peer support for NICU families — before, during, and after the stay — along with evidence-based education, milestone cards, and a parent network. Parent-led, with a physician advisory committee. You can reach them through their website.
If you're in crisis right now, call or text 988, the Suicide Crisis Helpline.
If you've experienced a loss, there is support for you here.
