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.
We are not a crisis service and do not have after hours or weekend services.
For urgent or crisis mental health care 24/7, please call 0800 653 357 or 111.
For additional mental health support please visit our resources page.
What People Are Saying
I just wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for today. It made me feel normal again and that I am not alone. My boy wouldn’t sleep this afternoon but after attending today I feel stress free and know a good day will come!
