IN HER CIRCLE
A MOVEMENT FOR POSTPARTUM MENTAL HEALTH
Raising awareness, building community, and funding access to postpartum mental health care.
OUR IMPACT
In May 2026,what began as a fundraising campaign grew into a movement that captured our hearts and strengthened our resolve to improve perinatal mental health care in Canada.
Together, we raised $58,123 for perinatal mental health care.
$32,000 was donated directly to Pacific Postpartum Support Society, funding drop-in and responsive group support programs so no parent has to wait for support when they need it most.
The remaining $26,123 fuels In Her Circle’s storytelling and advocacy work in service of systems change.
THis is how our community showed up
247 bodies moving as one
210 donors
16 movement studios
5 cities in BC
77 silent auction donations
In Her Circle builds community, online and offline, and gives people ways to take action, including with their dollars.
How WE move together
Our May fundraising campaign braids together three meaningful ways to participate:
Movement classes | Movement studios already bring people together to reconnect with themselves and each other. In May, studios across the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island opened their doors to extend the circle of care even further.
Silent auction | Every item in the auction was generously donated by local businesses, creators, and community members who are advocates for timely, compassionate postpartum care.
Direct donation | From individuals to corporations, direct donations made through Charitable Impact Foundation gave our community a simple way to show up for the cause, with the added benefit of a tax receipt.
Stay tuned. We’re taking what we learned in our inaugural year to grow our circle, and our impact, creating ripples of change.
PARTNERSHIPs
If you’re a movement studio, brand or business interested in joining our May 2027 campaign, please get in touch at info@inhercircle.ca.
Why May? Mental Health Awareness Month, Maternal Mental Health Awareness Day, and Mother’s Day all land in May, making it a natural moment for connection and community activation. For companies, it is an opportunity to build relationships with the mothers they serve, and for all of us to step into the circle of care around mothers and families.
