Publications
CHS relies on the sale of its publications to raise a significant portion of the money needed to maintain the Mental Health Centre and the Help Line. These publications are:
The CHS Calendar
The Big Yellow Calendar is an annual publication full of useful information, not only for people new to Brussels but equally for long term residents. It provides a wealth of information and is a great calendar as well. Hard to find information such as school vacation dates for nearly every English-speaking school in Belgium is just one of the many reasons people buy it year after year. All the information included is carefully checked to ensure that it is as up to date as possible.
Having Your Baby in Belgium

latest edition.

The cover of the
accompanying CD.
Having a baby far from your home country and wider family can turn a happy and exciting time of your life into a stressful one.
Pregnancy care may be very different from the country in which you grew up; your legal requirements and entitlements certainly will be; you may have a clear idea of how you would like to give birth – at home, in hospital, a natural birth, a water birth – but how can you find out whether your choice is possible?
These are problems that parents-to-be can live without.
Now a new sixth edition of Having Your Baby in Belgium, a publication by the Brussels-based Community Help Service, answers all these questions and more.
This complete guide from conception to birth and beyond is presented on a fully navigable CD with single click links to helpful websites, mounted in a book which contains the stories of mothers and fathers in their own words, including the birth of IVF twins.
Carefully researched, medically checked and comprehensive in its guidance, it is an easy way for mums and dads-to-be to answer all their questions.
Order your copy, for 10 euro, from the CHS, which has been helping the English-speaking community in Brussels for 40 years. Tel 02 647 67 80.
