Having a new baby can be a challenging time for many whaanau. Although not many people talk about it, it is common for mothers and new parents to experience mental health challenges. If you are struggling with these feelings it is important that you talk to your midwife or family doctor - there are a number of services available that may help.
Who Do We See?
We provide specialist assessment and treatment for mothers with mental health concerns impacting on their day-to-day functioning, which can no longer be managed by services in the community. We are one of a number of mental health services available that can support women during this time. Some women see us on their own, others alongside other mental health services, their family doctor or midwife.
