This research, grounded in Kaupapa Māori and mana wāhine methodologies, explores the experiences of Māori mothers and whānau during the perinatal period. It highlights the expertise of Māori birthing parents and identifies strengths and solutions to address inequities in perinatal mental health care.
A publicly accessible resource was developed to share these findings in a practical and usable way, supporting both whānau and practitioners. The work contributes new knowledge to the health sector, helping to inform culturally responsive care and improve outcomes for pēpi, wāhine and whānau.
