As part of the ongoing Maternal Child Program we have services available for Mothers, Mothers-to-be, Fathers, babies, toddlers and young children. We have you covered from the Family Doctors or Nurse Practitioners to Registered Nurses, Registered Dietitians, Pharmacist, and Mental Health Counsellors.

We have multiple educational materials, preventive health programs, group programs, and individual sessions. Please see our group programs such as Post-Partum Depression & Me, Feeding a Healthy Baby Workshop, and Fight the Fright – Anxiety workshop for kids 7-12 years old. Keep scrolling. All of these things are also available individually of course.

We also try to collaborate with other near by programs that provide service to mothers and children to bring you even better more inventive content. the first of these is the EarlyOn centres of Peel in Malton and Brampton.

Here at the Woodbine Family Health Team we provide a wide range of preventive care options. The Woodbine Family Health Team is a Primary Care Office. A very large part of primary care focuses on preventative health care. Preventing disease and illness before it happens through annual physicals, cancer screening, and immunizations, etc.

Make your appointment today and speak to your Healthcare Practitioner about what preventative health care is right for you.

Post-Partum Depression & Me

PPD & ME: A group for new parents struggling with Postpartum depression (PPD)

Becoming a new parent can be difficult. Up to 15% of new parents can experience postpartum depression. PPD can begin during pregnancy, or right after birth anytime within the first year. PPD can cause feelings of intense sadness, despair, a loss of interest or pleasure in activities one used to enjoy, worried or anxious thoughts, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, fears of being a bad parent, and more. If you are a new parent experiencing any of these symptoms, this group can help improve your understanding of postpartum depression, and develop skills and techniques to help reduce symptoms and work to improving your current emotional state.

This is a group that will have specific date and time. Have a look out for it under the programs page!-  – will not be running until spring/Summer 2024

Fight the Fright: 4-week youth anxiety group

Being a kid can be hard! Childhood can be full of many changes and new challenges, and it can be difficult for kids to have the tools to manage stressors during this time. Sometimes, unhealthy ways of coping can develop and anxiety can arise. This group was developed to help youth ages 7-12 to recognize their personal stressors and learn and practice healthy ways of coping and managing stress and anxiety!

This is a group that will have specific date and time. Have a look out for it under the programs page!-  – will not be running until spring/Summer 2024
