With this year’s Perinatal Mental Health Week theme, “What You Need, When You Need It,” we’re proud to support research giving parents early tools to nurture their baby’s emotional wellbeing.

Becoming a parent is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. Many families face sleepless nights, unsettled babies, and the pressure to form a strong bond, often without support.

Dr. Alyssa Sawyer and her team are developing an innovative program to help parents build that connection from the very beginning. A pilot showed parents felt more confident, more connected, and better prepared. Now, with WCH Foundation support, the team is adapting it so every new family can access it.

The program offers:

👶 Attachment-focused 20-week ultrasounds
🏡 Virtual home visits during pregnancy
🍼 Postnatal virtual visits on bonding, crying, sleep & emotional development

This project has the potential to ensure families get the right support at the right time, giving every baby the best possible start.

Clive’s family has been through more than most of us can imagine.

When he became seriously unwell earlier this year, Clive`s parents were suddenly navigating weeks in hospital, balancing work, travel and caring for their other children while trying to stay present for him through every appointment and every unknown.

This Christmas we’re asking our supporters to help us provide practical, immediate support for families like Clive`s. Your generosity can help cover essentials like groceries, fuel, accommodation and bills so parents can focus on their child’s care.
