Every Step You Take Brings Better Care to Women in BC 

At BC Women’s Health Foundation, we believe that every woman deserves compassionate, specialized support for her mental health. Too many women in British Columbia face challenges that can feel overwhelming. 

Did you know that:  

  • Nearly one in four new mothers in BC experience postpartum depression or anxiety  
  • Women are twice as likely than men to experience depression in BC  
  • Suicide is the 4th leading cause of maternal death in Canada
