Waitematā DHB would like to introduce a new project 'Healthy Mother Healthy Future (HMHF) - Asian Perinatal Wellbeing Project' which is supported by the Ministry of Health (MoH) to provide very comprehensive info & support to Asian pregnant women and mothers with infants by improving their accessibility to relevant services for their emotional wellbeing.

This project aims to improve Asian perinatal psychological wellbeing outcomes through collaborative efforts on strengthening the referral pathways, improving health literacy and emotional wellbeing awareness during the COVID19 pandemic period, and promoting early help-seeking and intervention by providing relevant workshops, counselling and practical social support.
