The Ruth Project Wairarapa

We offer a free service to our families struggling with mental health before, during and after child birth.

Wellington

The Ruth Project Wairarapa supports whanau by using a holistic approach for care and support, creating a sustainable village, connection to other organisations and health professionals, one on one mentoring, support groups and education.

Our dreams are big. Our service is free. We need community support to take the pressure off us so we can take the pressure of our mums and dads. Your generous giving will help support our staff, operations and also create the opportunity for us to sponsor clients to get counselling and other professional care.

Too many mums and dads are struggling with their mental health and wellness at a time that should be the most relaxing, peaceful, joyful and memorable time of their families lives. We want to be apart of the solution to the problem, we want to prevent our families getting to the bottom of the cliff before they are seen and cared for. Our motto - where our people go, we will go also. Help us to help our community, create villages and empower our parents.
