PERINATAL EDUCATION OPPORTUNITYThese seminars provide professional development for healthcare providers supporting families affected by perinatal distress related to pregnancy, childbirth and early parenthood.
🏳️🌈 Join us at the TAKATĀPUI seminar for our PADA Rainbow Series to explore how we can co-create a maternity system that honours the diverse journeys of Takatāpui and Rainbow parents. Together, we can ensure every whānau feels valued, seen, and supported.
Takatāpui individuals and Rainbow communities deserve a maternity system that recognises their mana and supports their journey to build their whānau. Research shows that at least 20% of trans individuals aspire to have tamariki (Trans Pregnancy Care Project), and this number is bound to grow when care becomes genuinely inclusive, culturally responsive, and mana-enhancing.
Midwives can attract Continuing Education Hours.
