The MCHN focuses on the needs of preconception/prenatal clients and families.
The MCHN helps to increase knowledge and perceptions of healthy lifestyles, nutrition, reproductive health, healthy pregnancies, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, and child development. Families and clients with special needs will be assessed and referred for needed services to help improve quality of life, development and functional ability through the coordination of the MCHN.
The MCHN is responsible for effectively planning, facilitating and evaluating a comprehensive Maternal Child Program for the community. This program primarily incorporates the guidelines of both Aboriginal Health Babies Health Children as funded by the Aboriginal Health and Wellness Strategy and the Maternal Child Health Program as funded by First Nations and Inuit Health (Health Canada).
