Child and Family Services
Is having a baby all you expected it to be? If you are experiencing distress or depression following your baby’s birth, the Plunket Postnatal Adjustment Programme may be able to help. We offer assessments at home, follow up phone support and group programmes. Postnatal Adjustment Programme covers all of Canterbury, including Ashburton, Kaikoura, Banks Peninsula, Christchurch Urban (City), Springston, Ellesmere, Malvern, Hurunui and Waimakariri Districts. We also offer the Oranga Whakamomori Programme for Māori families in the Christchurch Urban area only, helping to attain wellness through Kaupapa Māori processes. You do not need to be accessing Plunket’s Well Child Service to access the Postnatal Adjustment Programme. Services are free of charge.
