Pleasant Point Plunket

To all the māmā, step-mums, nans, aunties and caregivers navigating the beautiful mess of caring for others every day, we see you. 💐

We know that the everyday chaos of spills, nappy blowouts and general mayhem doesn't pause for the day, but we hope you're able to take some time to celebrate all the wonderful things you do and feel rewarded. And remember, when it's getting tough, we're always here if you need support.

Happy Mother’s Day from Whānau Āwhina Plunket. 💝

Get advice and support with our wonderful community Karitāne health workers and community services coordinators alongside other whānau going through the same things as you. They're free and completely online, so you can attend no matter where you are.
