PARENTING WHILE DIVERSE MULTICULTURAL RESEARCH STUDY

We understand there is a lack of race-based healthcare data in Canada. Without this information, creating significant change in how BIPOC communities are supported is challenging. Therefore, we felt it was crucial to first ask the questions and gather the research necessary in order to better design programs that will adequately support parents of all backgrounds and circumstances.

LWAB initiated a study to look at usage patterns of organizations and community agencies specifically for racialized, Indigenous, and/ or LGBTQ2S+ parents across Canada.

The report includes information for service providers to improve access to mental health care, support, and services to ensure they are reaching parents where they are.

We commissioned CulturaliQ to create the report.

Multicultural Research Study Panel Discussion

November 8, 2023

Join us for the Life With A Baby Multicultural Research Study panel discussion. A sequel to the 2021 study on Maternal Mental Health in Canada, this study expands by exploring the experiences of racialized and marginalized parents seeking support for Perinatal or Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) across Canada.

Discover unmatched insights directly from BIPOC parents, highlighting the need to address severe gaps in access to services, rather than merely expanding programming. Join our panel as we discuss the study's fascinating findings, practitioner feedback, and the future of mental health support for all parents.
