Support is given from women who are suffering from anxiety/depression, birth trauma, by qualified counsellors.

Monthly Dads evenings support dads to connect and share experiences.

Womens Wellness classes are coached by qualified health professionals and include pelvic floor health, Pilates and yoga supporting mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.

Young Parent evenings are held monthly empowering the young parents to parent effectively and with confidence. Guest speakers provide education such as CPR, Baby Massage, Family Planning and many more.

We support young families/whānau of Huntly by the W.A.I. Hapori parenting programme as access to resources and transport are often difficult.

Early intervention and the first 1000 days in the baby's life is known to be crucial for growth and development.

The Waikato Family Centre is extremely grateful for donations and funding to allow us to continue our unique, integral service to the families/whānau of the community and the greater Waikato so Thank You.
