The outreach service is for pregnant women and mothers who are vulnerable to alcohol and other drug addiction issues, and are poorly connected to health and social services. Iwi providers throughout the wider Whanganui region will work closely with the women to provide intensive support until their babies are three years old. The service is one of two new pilots, with the second launching soon in Bay of Plenty. Four others are already operating in Waitemata, Hawke s Bay, Northland and Te Tairāwhiti.
