Headline: Young Mums Little Tums
The Pacific Heartbeat team with young mums from the Taonga Teen Parent Unit in Clendon, Auckland
In the past several months, Pacific Heartbeat has been working in collaboration with the Mangere Community Health Trust and Taonga Education Trust in Clendon to equip our young mothers with new skills and knowledge to help them understand the importance of good nutrition for their babies.
The ‘Young Mums Little Tums’ course is designed to address the ever-increasing rate of childhood obesity among Pacific and Maori populations.
Feedback from the two workshops has been very positive. The response has highlighted a need in the community for programmes which are easy for our young mothers to attend, like Young Mums Little Tums.
Mangere Community Health Trust will be hosting the next Young Mums Little Tums workshop in November. Contact Kelly Meuli to register your interest.
