Health Program

Jessie’s health program is designed to meet the individual health needs of participants and their children by providing individual health counselling, specialized prenatal and postpartum classes, and system navigation support to reduce barriers when accessing the health care system.

Participants have access to free pregnancy tests, prenatal vitamins, feeding supplies, and other health products.

Health services are primarily provided by our health promotion specialist, with additional weekly access to a family doctor through our health clinic in partnership with Inner City Health Associates. Referrals also offered, including for a primary care provider, midwives, doulas, and more.

When my girls were born I was so happy, but then I struggled to breastfeed and didn’t know what to do. I’m so grateful that Jessie’s could still help me with advice, support, and the things I desperately needed…
