MEETING THE MUM WHERE SHE IS AT:

Recommended Best Practice To Support Vulnerable New Mothers

We are proud to showcase this white paper born thanks to the collaboration between two members of our chamber, Western Sydney University and 3BRIDGES.

Addressing Critical Needs: The White Paper fills a research gap by raising awareness and informing practice regarding the Early Years Support Service. It emphasizes the collaboration's rigorous approach, equipping services to better support vulnerable families.

In-Depth Study: The White Paper draws insights from 47 stakeholders, including 22 mothers, 15 volunteers, 6 staff members, and 4 significant others, providing a comprehensive understanding of the service's impact.

Focus on Mothers, Acknowledging Diversity: While the study primarily explores the experiences of mothers, future research should consider all primary carers to ensure inclusivity and support diversity.

Identifying Needs and Recommendations: The White Paper reveals the reported needs of vulnerable new mothers throughout their service journey and offers recommendations for service design and implementation, aiming to maximize impact. The collaborative efforts of Western

Sydney University and 3Bridges have produced a valuable White Paper, underscoring the significance of the Early Years Support Service for vulnerable new mothers. By implementing the recommendations, we can foster a nurturing environment and positively impact the lives of those in need. The CBCC commends these members and encourages the community to embrace these insights as we work towards a more supportive society.
