About this service
The Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program (CPNP) assists pregnant women and new mothers living in conditions of risk. CPNP aims to reduce the incidence of unhealthy birth weights, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, and to improve the health of both mother and infant. Mothers are also encouraged to breastfeed their babies. In 2006, the CPNP evaluation results indicated that the Program reaches:
60% of all low-income pregnant women
37% of Aboriginal women, and
40% of teens delivering live births.
CPNP is available in the District of Algoma, offering food supplements, nutrition information, support, education, referral, and counselling on such lifestyle issues as alcohol abuse, stress, and family violence.
