About Awhi Ngā Mātua

Awhi Ngā Mātua is a safe place created for parents, by parents. It's a place to celebrate our incredible children, to find solidarity and support, and to be seen and heard by people who understand you and what you're going through.

This website hosts a range of resources including community generated content. We're developing a private online community where you can connect other parents who know what it's like - you'll be part of a movement.

Our hope is that we will grow together as we learn together with the support of our online information, tips and strategies that will help us to spark positive change as a community.
