The transition to parenting can bring lots of joy, but it can also bring many challenges. It is common for parents to need a helping hand when they are thinking about starting a family or already have a little one at home. It is important that our support systems understand who we are, and where we come from and can guide us to balance our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual selves.
Chigamik’s Indigenous Perinatal Mental Health Program works with First Nation, Métis, and Inuit mothers in North Simcoe Muskoka who may be planning a pregnancy, are currently pregnant, have recently had a baby, or have experienced a loss during this time. The program works with clients and the medicine wheel as they travel along their journey into parenthood, providing the support and resources needed for good physical, emotional and spiritual health.
The Indigenous Perinatal Health Counsellor provides assessment, counselling, and health education to clients regarding their pre and post-natal care.
For more information or to book an appointment, please contact Heather Cusson, Indigenous Perinatal Mental Health Counsellor at 705-527-4154 x 7227 or by email.

CSC CHIGAMIK CHC would like to acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabek Nation. We would also like to acknowledge the enduring presence of the Indigenous Peoples of this region, specifically, the Chippewa Tri – Council First Nations comprised of the Beausoleil First Nation, the Chippewas of Rama, and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. We also acknowledge the Moose Deer Point First Nation, the Wahta Mohawks, the Georgian Bay and Moon River Métis Councils in this region. It should be noted that the Wendat and the Haudenosaunee Nations have also walked on this territory over time.
