Building Communities for Maternal Mental Health

Founded in 2019, ‘The Nurtured Village’ has been forging communities in towns and cities around Australia in an effort to bring back the traditional village of support in early parenthood.

Testimonial

Each month our coordinators knock on a families door with a car boot load full of donated home cooked meals, baby essentials, non-perishables and small gifts in an effort to provide practical support to families, express solidarity, kindness and in the process, forge villages around the nation for families.

Our Mission

CONNECTION

Forging connectedness in early parenthood to create nationwide change for maternal mental health.

Our Vision

SUPPORT

A society where all mothers feel supported by an abundant and multifaceted village.

“People have said it’s like being wrapped in a giant hug from an entire group of strangers and it’s in those moments that I know it’s making a difference.”

Emma - The Nurtured Village Hampers Founder

“I’m just so overwhelmed by how kind you and others are. It really means so much to me, more than you all would realise. I have been struggling to talk about everything that is going on, but generally feeling negative about things. But a gesture like this has given me so much positivity and good feelings. It’s really quite amazing. I could never thank you enough.”
