In recognition of #AsianHeritageMonth, we’re continuing our series on some of our programs and services that specifically support the health and well-being of patients and families of Asian heritage. Navigating a pregnancy can be challenging for many young parents, but for those adjusting to a new country and culture, the struggles can be even more profound. The Youth Pregnancy and Parenting Program (YPPP) supports pregnant youth aged 24 and under and their babies by offering prenatal education, resources and postpartum assistance. With over 100 prenatal referrals annually, many clients are newcomers to Canada, including international students and young adults on work permits. “Families from different backgrounds may have unique cultural nuances in parenting, food choices and lifestyle,” said Kari Stout, Program Coordinator. “They feel less judged and better understood when staff are familiar with their culture or come from a similar background.” You can learn more about the YPPP’s health care services at https://lnkd.in/gfpJX8cy
