Description
He Kākano Ora (‘seeds for life’) offers residential respite support for mothers to recover from mental health difficulties between the first trimester of pregnancy through to their baby turning one year of age. We also offer support to families in their homes.
At He Kākano Ora we can:
- Support you with your individual goals
- Provide mental health support and promote wellness
- Help you to access appropriate community resources or groups
- Offer support in caring for your baby as required
- Assist with pregnancy and birth planning support
- Liaise and work with your clinical team and other agencies you chose to be involved
- Maintain your rights and dignity at all times
The respite service is staffed 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Our registered health professionals and experienced staff work alongside our mothers in our spacious home in Te Atatu which is well resourced. We provide a relaxing environment that promotes wellness and recovery and fosters attachment between mothers and their babies. We recognize that you drive your own recovery and our approach is based on helping you to identify and utilise your strengths. He Kākano Ora staff will also respect your cultural needs and ensure that you are in a safe environment that you can enjoy.
