Meet Kelly. 💙 New to Canada, Kelly navigated pregnancy and motherhood without extended family nearby. Through our Perinatal Program, she found resources, support and a community of other mothers. After completing our Peer Leader Program, Kelly now gives back by supporting other newcomers.
A smiling mother holds her young child close as they look at the camera indoors. Text on the graphic reads: "Together, we're helping newcomer mothers feel supported, connected and confident as they build their lives in Canada." A banner at the bottom reads: "Perinatal Settlement Services." The TNG Community Services logo appears in the top-right corner.
