Having a baby is the most life changing experience you will ever go through and we want to make sure you have all the tools you need to walk away feeling empowered and above all healthy. Prenatal support sessions offer private, professional, and non-clinical social support for expecting parents experiencing a Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorder.

Our goal during these sessions is to:

- Further explain the illness so you can better understand what’s happening.
- Provide basic education & resources regarding the birth process and outline your options
- Discuss any fears or concerns you may have and how to communicate that to your birth team.

Perinatal Health Facilitator, B.A. Psych

I have always juggled many passions at once and love to stay busy. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Regina. I have also taken specialized training in perinatal mental health.

I spend my time reading, changing diapers, and exploring the world through the eyes of my children. I am passionate about creating safe, accessible, and supportive spaces for families. Having gone through a heavy perinatal experience myself, I understand, first hand, the value of having a village. I strive to support families in building their village so they can truly immerse themselves in all those magical moments.

I currently live in Regina with my husband and our two children, welcomed in 2021 and 2024.

Lori Balzer B.A., BSW, M.Ed

B.A. (Psych), BSW, M.Ed (Ed.Psych) Registered with Saskatchewan Association of Social Workers and Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers

With an extensive clinical background, I have been privileged to support clients of all ages and concerns. My role with parents/caregivers includes providing a safe and supportive environment where they can explore and better understand their challenges while developing strategies to improve their mental health. Together, we set goals, learn skills, strengthen relationships, and practice self-care.

I use an integrative approach to ensure that service matches the client’s unique needs and goals. I find value and ease with modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Family Systems Therapy and Person-Centred Therapy, among others. I apply sensitivity and understanding to individual beliefs, customs, and prior lived experiences and the role/meaning they hold for clients. I have a special interest in the areas of stress/anxiety, depression, life transitions, work related issues, health issues and the unique needs of caregivers.

Lin Carr

Perinatal Health Coordinator BSW, Certified Birth & Reproductive Trauma Specialist (CC-BRT)

I recently completed my Bachelor of Social Work degree from the U of R, with my studies focusing on mental health and addictions; childhood development; grief and loss; and biopsychosocial and community perspectives to health care. I have also taken specialized training in perinatal mental health and birth and reproductive trauma.

I am passionate about perinatal mental health care in Saskatchewan because I lived through prenatal anxiety and postpartum depression after the birth of my son in 2017. It was an incredibly isolating experience to feel alone in my struggles, and I experienced first-hand how complex (and sometimes frustrating!) navigating public mental health systems could be. I also understand the mental load that comes with being a new parent, as well as the stigma that comes with experiencing a perinatal mood disorder. Through my own experiences and professional training, my hope is to offer social support in a judgment-free space, help carry the mental load of motherhood, and provide community resources and connections so other parents don’t feel like they have to walk this path alone.

I currently live in Regina with my husband and our two children, welcomed in 2015 and 2017.
