  • Helping Parents Navigate Medical Pressure, and What’s Next

      13 April 2026

    We’re really pleased to share that our “Parenting Under Medical Pressure” course will be running again from 6 May. This programme continues to provide practical tools and emotional support for parents navigating the stress of caring for a baby with medical needs. The course is very practical, and parents report feeling relieved that simple tools make a such big difference.

    Alongside this, we are working to extend our support even further. We would love to be able to offer online webinars and an online baby massage course, giving parents additional practical ways to support and comfort their babies while also helping them feel less overwhelmed and alone in the process.

    We are also continuing to cover essential operational costs that allow us to keep these services running and accessible to families who need them most.

    Like many small charities, we are currently operating in a very challenging funding environment. Every contribution — large or small — directly supports our ability to continue and grow this work for families across New Zealand.

    We are deeply grateful to everyone who stands with us and helps make this support possible.

  • Toolbox Parenting Preschoolers Course - for parents of children with medical challenges

      9 December 2025

    We’re thrilled to announce our adapted Parenting Preschoolers Toolbox course, starting this February, designed specifically for parents of preschoolers with medical conditions like gastric reflux. Parenting a preschooler is challenging enough, but when doctor visits, NG tube feeding, and food aversions disrupt daily life, the stress multiplies. Imagine your child refusing food, carrying their NG tube in a backpack, or coping with pain — it’s heart-wrenching and exhausting.

    This course gives parents practical tools, strategies, and support to navigate these challenges, reduce stress, and restore confidence. Families learn to bond, have fun, and feel empowered again — even when life throws the unexpected at them.

    Your donation can make a real difference. By giving, you help more parents access this vital course, bringing hope, relief, and confidence to families facing the toughest early years. Every contribution helps a parent feel supported, a child feel comforted, and a family regain their sense of normalcy.

    Join us in empowering families — donate today and help make these life-changing tools accessible to those who need them most.
