Bringing together professionals to share knowledge, strengthen connections and support pēpi, young tamariki and whānau to thrive.
Nationwide
E Tū Kahikatea: Strong Together for Pēpi is a conference hosted by IMHAANZ (Infant Mental Health Association Aotearoa New Zealand), bringing together kaimahi, kaiako and whānau-focused professionals who support pēpi and young tamariki.
Inspired by the strength of the kahikatea tree, which thrives through connection, the conference celebrates the importance of nurturing relationships, cultural responsiveness and collective care. It is an opportunity to learn, share and strengthen our workforce so that all pēpi in Aotearoa can thrive.
With a focus on equity and inclusion, IMHAANZ is committed to making the conference accessible through graded fees and reduced costs for lower-paid kaimahi and kaiako.
Together, we can strengthen connections, support our communities and create the conditions for pēpi to flourish.
