Description of Organization

The Family Care Collective (FCC) is a community organization for families in Montreal with a focus on advocacy, community support, and access to information. We offer drop-in services for new and expecting parents in Montreal to receive social support and guidance to navigate resources related to reproductive health, mental health, medical care, childcare, work and housing.  We recognize that for many people, starting a family, often in a new country, poses challenges that affect the experience of pregnancy and the adjustment during the postpartum period and beyond.

We offer free individual and group meetings as well as regular workshops and social events to help new and expecting parents navigate this process with the support of the FCC community. 

We bring a person-centered, interdisciplinary and integrative approach to support maternal health and the wellbeing of the family, drawing on a strong network of healthcare practitioners, activists and researchers. Our values of equity, dignity and feminist ethics are at the heart of our work as we advocate for the physical and mental health of the whole family.
