Messages for Parents: Two to Five Years
Information Card, Revised 2024
Parents are the first and primary sexual health educators of children. This resource provides information to help parents and caregivers promote their child’s healthy sexual development. Early introduction of sexual health topics increases the confidence and comfort of both caregivers and the child to talk about sexual health in later years. As children grow, it is important for caregivers to reinforce health messages and expand on sexual health topics.

Group Prenatal Care Lit Review
Report, 2016
Group prenatal care is a model of group where eight to twelve women of similar gestational age meet as a group with their healthcare provider for 90-120 minutes of regularly scheduled appointments, starting in their second trimester and continuing throughout their pregnancy. During these appointments, each woman has a brief individual physical assessment with the healthcare provider and then participates in a group discussion led by a healthcare provider. All prenatal care is provided in this group setting, combining the usual physical assessment with peer support and increased time for education about healthy pregnancy. This report examines current research on group prenatal care to assess if it is a good model of care for Saskatchewan and if there is an improvement in birth outcomes and breastfeeding rates associated with using this model of care compared to individual prenatal care. Birth outcomes examined in this report are gestational age at birth, preterm birth, and low birth weight.
