About BCPHIN
One space for Black and racialized perinatal and reproductive health.
A Mino Care initiative.
Our mission
Sharing our knowledge.
The Black Canadian Perinatal Health Information Network (BCPHIN) exists to bring scattered knowledge together. We connect researchers, clinicians, professionals, and advocates working to advance Black and racialized perinatal and reproductive health - and give them one organized place to find research, tools, data, and events, while contributing to a growing network dedicated to equity, collaboration, and change.
Join usWhy we exist
Closing an information gap.
Finding reliable information about Black perinatal health in Canada is harder than it should be. The evidence is scattered across journals, databases, and institutions - and some of it has never been gathered at all.
That fragmentation slows research, weakens advocacy, and makes real disparities easier to overlook. BCPHIN was built to make the evidence base visible, searchable, and usable by the people doing the work.
What we do
One network, everything in one place.
Research database
Curated academic papers from Canada, the US, and the UK.
Resources, tools & organizations
Practical resources and a directory supporting Black perinatal health.
Data & evidence
Key statistics on Black perinatal health outcomes, gathered together.
Spotlights, opportunities & events
A monthly feature, plus a board to discover and post studies and events.
Who it's for
Built for the people doing the work.
And for the families and communities that work ultimately serves.
Our values
What guides us.
Four commitments that shape every part of the network.
Equity
We center the communities most affected by perinatal health disparities.
Evidence
We prioritize accurate, well-sourced research and information.
Collaboration
We connect people and organizations rather than duplicate their work.
Access
We make knowledge easy to find, understand, and use.
