The Postnatal Depression Family/Whanau NZ Trust was established in 2007 by a group of medical professionals and consumers who were passionate about postnatal depression and perinatal distress.
We operate under the name of PND Canterbury (Postnatal Depression Canterbury) and are currently based in Spreydon, Christchurch.

We offer support for parents who suffer from postnatal depression, anxiety and other related illnesses in the form of a support group, playgroup and online groups.

Medication and diagnosis information is not part of this position.

This role is part-time (20hrs/week) and is currently funded for $26,000pa ($25/hr).

Poll: Pedestrian access is being extended to the Ōtakaro Avon River - good idea?
Pedestrian access from one of Christchurch’s favourite streets is being extended all the way to the Ōtakaro Avon River. This new 12m-wide pathway will give you a direct, easy route from the street to the river promenade ... perfect for a stroll, a coffee run, or just soaking up the riverside vibes.
We want to know: In your view, what makes a city people-friendly?
What else should our urban areas be doing to support better community connections?
