Every mother deserves support that meets them where they are and this year’s Perinatal Mental Health Week theme, “What You Need, When You Need It,” reflects just how vital timely care can be.
For mothers with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), managing emotions while caring for a newborn can feel overwhelming. Disrupted early bonding can affect a child’s development, and mothers often face guilt and stress that make parenting even harder.
The Mother-Infant Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (MI-DBT) program, developed by the Women’s and Children’s Health Network, is helping mothers learn emotional regulation and parenting skills, building stronger bonds and brighter futures for both mother and child.
Now, with support from the WCH Foundation, A/Prof Anne Sved Williams and her team are bringing MI-DBT to rural and remote communities through telehealth. As Dr Rebecca Hill explains, this innovative project will expand access, reduce wait times, and train more clinicians, making life-changing support available to families who need it most.

We were proud to host a special event recently for the Tjunguringanyi – Coming Together exhibition at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital as part of the 2025 Tarnanthi Festival.
The afternoon brought APY Art Centre artists, Aboriginal Health staff, and health professionals together for a guided exhibition tour and a ‘Talking and Listening’ session, creating a collaborative and culturally safe space.
Discussions explored wellness, the importance of families, and ways to support healthy communities, especially for patients and families in remote areas.
Events like this strengthen partnerships, foster mutual respect, and help us work together to enhance the health and wellbeing of all families in our community.

What an incredible Spring Challenge🌸
Thanks to our amazing community, the 2025 Spring Challenge has officially hit its fundraising goal of $25,000!
This year’s challenge holds a special place in our hearts. 2025 marks what would have been Sam Roberts’ 25th birthday. Sam’s legacy lives on through Cycle 4 Sam, created by his parents, Marty and Michelle Roberts, in honour of their little boy who tragically passed away just before his fifth birthday.
Every kilometre clocked, every donation made, and every cheer shared not only honours Sam’s memory but provides families facing the loss of a child with compassionate care through the Alongside: Grief and Loss Program. Together, we’ve made a real difference.
