Supporting mums on
their journey to motherhood
A nine session course
for expecting mothers
Discover Hāpai Whanau
The word Hapai comes from te reo Māori. It means to empower, lift up, support.
We are a charity created to support families on their journey of relationship with their children.
Hapai Whanau’s parenting courses weave science with your own wisdom so you and your family can flourish.
Enjoying relationship with your children
The goal of every parent
We all want to enjoy relationships with our children. We want to enjoy the journey, and in time, love being around our adult children. While we imagine having perfect children might be nice, what we really want are enjoyable, healthy relationships.
Parenting Resources
Our courses are designed to help us all build great relationships with our children. We have antenatal classes and parenting resources for babies, toddlers and more.
