Perinatal Mental Health Support for New Parents in the Manawatu

About The Hope Collective

We are a new Community Trust formed in November 2025 with charitable status gained in May 2026, dedicated to supporting the maternal/perinatal mental health and wellbeing of pregnant māmā and new parents in the Manawatu. We connect those experiencing perinatal distress to counselling, support and information.

 

Born from a vision of Whakapono/Faith, Tumanako/Hope, and Aroha/Love, we work with whānau/families through empowerment, connection, and community to create a nurturing space where they can flourish.  Along the journey we strive to cultivate resilience, joy, and shared hope, one whānau/family at a time.

Support Us

Many of the programmes we offer are unfunded or only partially funded, which means community support isn't just appreciated, it's essential. Whether through a donation, your time, or your skills, your support helps ensure no parent faces perinatal distress alone.
