Well Women provides compassionate support for women and whānau experiencing antenatal or postnatal distress, anxiety, low mood or other mental-health challenges. Their focus is on supporting wellbeing and resilience through connection, practical support and peer understanding.
Although their face-to-face services are based in Auckland and Waikato, māmā in Te Hiku can still access support remotely. Well Women welcomes self-referrals, and their team can be contacted directly by phone or email. They also run a weekly online Peer Support Group via Zoom every Tuesday from 7.30–9pm, so māmā can connect with others and receive support from home.
The peer-support groups are open to pregnant māmā and mothers with a baby or child under five. Sessions are free, with koha appreciated.
Online via Zoom; in-person services in Auckland/Waikato
