LES LÈVE-TÔT NATURELS: UNE AFFAIRE DE GÈNES
Will winter weather and power outages lead to a baby boom in Greater Victoria?
Anecdotal evidence suggests yes, research says no.
First things first. People do not necessarily get busier – if you get the drift – when extreme events like winter storms keep them inside and bring down the lights.
Nine months after an ice storm had caused catastrophic damage across Quebec and other parts of North America in early 1998, demographers scoffed at the notion that this extreme weather event had any significant bearing on live birth rates in the province.
Une pilule pour les coeurs brisés

Theme: TALKING ABOUT SUICIDE SAVES LIVES
The 29th edition of Suicide Prevention Week focuses on a critical component of prevention: speaking up. To reduce suicide rates, it is important to open up both a one‑on‑one and a collective dialogue on the topic. Since suicide already receives extensive media coverage and features prominently in fiction and on social networks, the AQPS believes that it is important to answer the questions that many Quebecers have and offer guidance on how to talk about it.

Dr. Boudreault was a valued member of the Mental Health Mission for over 30+ years.

Infertility is almost always thought of as a woman’s issue, and it’s true that women bear the greater burden of it. And yet up to 50% of cases in which couples can’t have babies are due in some way to men.
