Midwifery Care Services

The MINT Program provides comprehensive postpartum care tailored to support families during the transition into parenthood. From in-home or virtual postpartum visits to breastfeeding guidance and newborn care, our midwives are here to ensure a smooth and positive experience. We also specialize in supporting families facing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) through partnerships like the Collingwood Well Baby Clinic, offering counseling, therapy, and group support to promote emotional well-being. With accessible services designed to meet your unique needs, The MINT Program is committed to helping you and your family thrive during this special time.

Access to Beyfortus

The MINT Program is pleased to announce that we can now provide Beyfortus (nirsevimab) to eligible infants. This protection is available for babies born after April 1, 2025 who are unable to access Beyfortus through their primary care provider.

Why is this important?
RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) is a very common and highly contagious respiratory infection. While many older children and adults experience it like a cold, RSV can cause serious illness in babies, leading to bronchiolitis, pneumonia, and sometimes hospitalization.

What is Beyfortus?
Beyfortus is a monoclonal antibody designed to provide babies with passive immunity against RSV. Unlike a vaccine, which helps the body build its own antibodies over time, Beyfortus delivers immediate protection that lasts through the RSV season. This is especially valuable for infants who are too young to be vaccinated or at higher risk of complications.

Families whose infants meet the criteria are invited to contact the MINT Program directly to book an appointment and learn more about this important preventative option.

What Is Behavioural Activation?

Behavioural Activation is a structured, evidence-based therapy that supports people in reconnecting with activities that reflect their values and bring a sense of purpose. By gradually increasing engagement in meaningful routines, many individuals experience a reduction in symptoms of depression and anxiety. Research—including the SUMMIT Trial—shows that trained nurses, midwives, and doulas can deliver this therapy just as effectively as mental health specialists.

Why Consider Behavioural Activation?

✔ Evidence-Backed Results – Most people notice improvement in mood and functioning within 6–8 sessions.
✔ Improved Access – Delivered by trained providers, helping reduce wait times for traditional mental health services.
✔ Flexible Delivery – Offered virtually or in person to fit your needs.
✔ Non-Medication Option – A supportive choice for those who prefer therapy-based approaches during pregnancy and postpartum.
✔ Zero Cost – All sessions are free.

Who Is It For?

Behavioural Activation is ideal for pregnant or postpartum individuals experiencing low mood, anxiety, or a sense of being overwhelmed. Our providers offer a warm, structured approach that helps you take manageable steps toward feeling more like yourself.
