For Jenna

Jenna was known for the fierce, protective love she gave everyone around her. When postpartum psychosis took hold, her family fought to get her the care she needed. The system failed her tragically. For Jenna is the story of that fight — a short film about love and community, and the limits of both against a system not built to hold mothers and babies together.

Trigger Warning: This film contains depictions of suicide and mental health struggles, including postpartum depression and psychosis. The film contains no graphic details and closes with a focus on treatment and solutions.

If Jenna’s postpartum story moves you, help make sure no family has to face what Jenna’s did. Add your name to call on BC to commit to opening Canada’s first perinatal mental health unit.
