Antenatal programme
A six-session Pacific antenatal programme nurturing the vā — the sacred relational space between parents, pēpi, and community. It blends Pacific knowledge, cultural identity, and practical parenting skills to support healthy pregnancies and strong whānau. Using talanoa-based learning it promotes bonding, wellbeing, and early brain development while connecting families to key services. Facilitated by cultural mentors and clinical experts, it provides group sessions, home visits, and multi-language resources. The goal is to empower parents and ensure that pēpi are born into love, pride, and a strong cultural foundation.
