CADS Pregnancy and Parental Service (PPS) provides assessment, information, and support to pregnant women and parents of children under 3 years of age.

We are a mobile team so can meet with clients in the community.

We are here to:

• assist women to access antenatal care, alcohol and other drug treatment, parenting support and other community and health services
• work on your behalf to reduce judgment and stigma you might experience from other services
• work with you to identify and achieve goals to improve outcomes for you and your children
• work with whanau and friends in a way that will support you
• co-ordinate services to work together so your needs are best met

"I am now making positive choices every day. One of my interests in this shared support journey was all about understanding myself. I have the opportunity to communicate effectively and the best reward for that is a positive response. Life is good." (from a client of PPS )
