No mother should feel alone

FREE postpartum care for mothers, by mothers, in the Fraser Valley.

We believe motherhood was never meant to be done alone.

Yet too many mothers of newborns feel isolated, disconnected, and overwhelmed by the challenges within motherhood. Mothers are vulnerable during the postpartum period, and when they lack the social support they need it increases the risks of depression, anxiety, and attachment challenges that can impact a growing baby and their families for the long term.

Care For Women is here to change that. We exist to come alongside mothers in the intense first weeks of their newborns’ lives, surrounding them with emotional, physical and tangible support they need to thrive.

We believe supporting mothers means supporting babies for a healthier and stronger community.

“[My mentor] was amazing. She was super friendly, super intuitive, and very helpful. She was always willing to help with whatever I needed and brought a lot of happiness and joy to our home with her bubbly personality. We absolutely fell in love with her!
I was very happy with the service. I really appreciate the help a lot. Even an hour of someone’s time to help with laundry or holding the baby makes such a massive difference. Thank-you from the bottom of my heart for this service.”

Thank you! And I cannot thank you & your team enough for providing this service. It has been so incredibly helpful at one of the most challenging times of my life. I appreciate it immensely.

[My mentor] was extremely helpful. I really appreciate her great heart to help me with folding clothes, dishes, bringing meals. Thank you Care For Women group. It made me feel that I’m not alone. I was emotionally well supported.

{

[My Mentor] was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She has 5 kids so she was able to answer all the questions I had. She is such a sweet person and I am so grateful to her. She always made time to visit or answer my text messages despite her busy schedule. I don’t know what I would have done without her.

{

“My mentor was amazing! She helped with all the small tasks that I wouldn’t have been able to get to myself and was a safe person for me to leave my baby with while I showered and napped. Wonderful women and am super grateful I had her. I wish more people knew about your services. As a new mom care for women’s made me feel supported and I hope more moms take advantage of the services you provide.”

{

I could not have asked for a better mentor. She was so kind and always had a listening ear when I needed to talk, and always asked how she could help. Every visit looked different but she met me where I needed her most and that’s what I loved so much. She always went above and beyond.

{

“I loved this program and I’m happy I got to be apart of it thank you very much! Although I didn’t have family support it felt like I wasn’t doing it 100% on my own. It was nice to be able to shower while my mentor held baby.”

{
[My Mentor] cleaned my fridge, organized my cupboards in my kitchen and bathroom, she did our laundry, she practically did everything so I could focus on my recovery from a c section and focus on my baby! She even helped me pack when I had to move. She went above and beyond like she was family!
{
[My Mentor] went above and beyond for me… She just knew what to do, how to help me during my postpartum. I am so grateful she was there! She held [My daughter] so I could nap and shower. She cleaned. I didn’t really need to tell her what to do, she understood… I am incredibly grateful for [My Mentor] and the Care For Women group!
{

I cannot thank you guys enough!!! This has been such a great experience for me. Thank you so much again from the bottom if my heart and my kids. I loved everything and with it all I have now made a hopefully life long friend with [My Mentor] and for that I will forever be grateful.

About Us

Care For Women Foundation has been a service that has been growing in our hearts for a long time. Ideas first scribbled in a notebook. Then shared with other women. Together, Renae Regehr, Amanda Adamson and Kenzi Dirks began the process of bringing Care For Women Foundation to existence. With 10 kids between them through home births, hospital deliveries and adoption, they understand it truly “takes a village” to raise kids and do life well.

With all three of us founders being clinical counsellors, we understand that supporting mothers means supported babies. Learn more about our heart for mothers:
