PADA Rainbow Series | Takatāpui – Monday 23 February 2026 – Ōtautahi | Christchurch

February 23 @ 9:00 am - 3:30 pm
Free – $125.00

These seminars provide professional development for healthcare providers supporting families affected by perinatal distress related to pregnancy, childbirth and early parenthood.

Join us at the TAKATĀPUI seminar for our PADA Rainbow Series to explore how we can co-create a maternity system that honours the diverse journeys of Takatāpui and Rainbow parents. Together, we can ensure every whānau feels valued, seen, and supported.

Takatāpui individuals and Rainbow communities deserve a maternity system that recognises their mana and supports their journey to build their whānau. Research shows that at least 20% of trans individuals aspire to have tamariki (Trans Pregnancy Care Project), and this number is bound to grow when care becomes genuinely inclusive, culturally responsive, and mana-enhancing.

Midwives can attract Continuing Education Hours.
