Our Purpose and Mission
Who We Are
The Fourth Trimester Collective was created by a group of doulas and like-minded community members who saw a significant gap in postpartum care, especially for families facing financial, social, or systemic barriers to support, in the Niagara Region.
Our mission is to improve access to compassionate, community-based mental health and postpartum support for individuals who are at risk for, or experiencing, perinatal and postpartum mental health challenges.
Through therapy assistance, postpartum doula care, supportive groups, educational programming, complementary wellness services, and connections to community resources, we help families access meaningful support during the transition into parenthood.
Because no one should have to navigate postpartum mental health challenges alone.
Initiatives
Postpartum Doula Support
We help connect eligible families experiencing or at risk for postpartum mental health challenges with compassionate postpartum doula support. Care may include newborn support, opportunities for rest, emotional reassurance, and practical help during the early weeks and months of parenthood.
Mental Health & Therapy
Cost should not be the reason someone goes without mental health care. Through funding assistance, partnerships, and community referrals, we help reduce barriers to counselling and therapeutic support for individuals experiencing perinatal and postpartum mental health challenges.
Community Wellness
Our groups, classes, and wellness programs create welcoming spaces for parents to connect while supporting their emotional and physical wellbeing. From peer-based programming to educational workshops, we provide opportunities for care beyond the traditional clinical setting.
