It is essential that hapū māmā receive the support they need when diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Our Taurima service provides tailored support and access to services/resources to help hapū māmā manage their gestational diabetes, maintain balanced blood sugar levels, support pēpi’s growth, and improve their overall hauora.

Diet and exercise are key to managing gestational diabetes — helping to keep blood sugar balanced, support baby’s growth, and reduce health risks for both māma and pēpi.

A small light of aroha💗

As Baby Loss Awareness Week comes to a close, tonight at 7pm candles and more than 40 landmarks will glow across the motu, including:

💙- Te Aroha Clock Tower (Pare Hauraki)
💜- Hamilton Victoria Bridge (Pare Waikato)

Each light shines in remembrance of our precious pēpi who left too soon, illuminating the night sky in pink, blue and purple to show aroha, and to remind all mātua, whānau and wider pā harakeke who carry their memory every day, that they matter.

Whether big or small, in whatever way feels right to you, take a moment to reflect and remember. Light a candle, share a photo, or simply hold them in your thoughts.

✨ Every light matters. Every story matters.

Baby Loss Awareness Week 2025 🌈

"Sometimes, the smallest things take up the biggest room in your heart" 🧸

Behind every statistic, every candle, every quote is a baby that is loved and remembered by a family who longed to meet them. ✨

This baby loss awareness week, it's important to remember that for these families their grief goes beyond just the one week of the year. ☁️

However this week reminds us of the little ones who are no longer in our arms or body, but forever in our hearts. 💛

Sending love, light & healing to parents and families navigating their loss — your babies will always be with you 🤍 🕯️🌈

Mental Health Awareness Week

During hapūtanga hormonal changes can have a significant impact on the emotions and overall wellbeing of our māmā. Our Taurima Service is here to provide wraparound support, helping whānau work towards their mental health goals and uplift their hinengaro.

If you’re interested, our Taurima Service also offers perinatal mental health support that ensures your pā harakeke receives the manaaki and care it needs to thrive.

Whether you’re feeling low, down, or disconnected, our team is here to listen and guide you in the right direction. If you’d like to connect with a counsellor or psychologist, or simply take time for yourself through mirimiri and self-care, our Taurima team is here for you💚

07/10/2025

Come on down & check out the stalls. We’re here from 10am to 1pm outside St James Church, on the corner of Pollen Street and Oahu Street for mental health awareness week 💚
