Our Mission

Improving maternal health

• CAPE provides valuable information and services to families. We gather and disseminate research about prenatal life and the bond between mother – child – father. This information empowers young people to act responsibly, and expecting parents to offer their child in the womb the best elements and conditions for an optimal development of her/his basic structure.
• CAPE connects and networks with organizations working for families across Canada.
• CAPE is part of the world organization of prenatal education associations OMAEP,  and is exempt of all political and religious affiliations.
