Perinatal Support Nelson

Perinatal Support Nelson has been supporting mothers and their families/whanau for over 30 years. We offer free confidential support and counselling for mothers experiencing Ante and Postnatal Depression and/or Anxiety. Over the last couple of years, we have had a huge increase in referrals for mothers needing our service. Unfortunately our funds haven't been able to cover all our expenses.

We offer such important and valued support during, what can be, a really difficult time. When mothers are experiencing depression and/or anxiety, this impacts on her well being and subsequently the well being of her baby. We know the first three years of a baby's life are the foundation for their future and it is our pleasure to support these mothers and their families to get through this time and thrive.

We are proud to be one of the only organisations in New Zealand who support mothers and their families with home visits, counselling and group therapy. This has a hugely positive impact on the mothers, their babies, family/whanau and the Community. This is in keeping with the Government's "First 1000 days" initiative.
