We were pleased to attend the Wellington Chamber of Commerce Women Leading Business Lunch, held ahead of International Women’s Day, and centred around this year’s global theme .

💚 At Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Aotearoa (PADA), this theme strongly reflects the work happening across our sector. When we invest time, understanding and support into women and whānau during the perinatal period, the positive impacts extend far beyond the individual to families, communities and future generations.

It was a privilege to hear from Meg Williams, CEO of World of WearableArt, and Mei Heron from 1News, who shared thoughtful insights about leadership,
storytelling and the importance of creating opportunities that uplift others.

💜 As we prepare for Perinatal Mental Health Awareness Week, we are also exploring the possibility of securing World of WearableArt tickets as a prize draw for our upcoming movie night event, helping raise awareness while celebrating creativity, community and connection.

Thank you to the Wellington Chamber of Commerce and Lillis Clark for bringing together leaders committed to meaningful change for women 🤝
