Since starting in 2015, Mums of the Hills has helped families in the Yarra Ranges and surrounding area to overcome isolation. Factors that cause isolation can include:

• parenting young children

• financial hardship

• mental or physical health challenges

• domestic violence

• poor telecommunication access

• natural disaster events

MotHs goes above and beyond for its community. A donation to Mums of the Hills supports the well-being of mums across the Yarra Ranges and drives our advocacy for mums around Australia.

We advocate on the issues we see, hear about and directly experience within our community. In addition to facilitating connections to provide mother-to-mother emotional and physical assistance, timely information about community events and emergency preparedness, and a welcoming experience to new families to the Hills, your contribution will help MotHs:

• advocate for residents on topics including: telecommunication, long day care, family violence and postnatal depression.

• create workshops and events tailored to the needs of our community.

• create and maintain useful hills-centric resources to support living and parenting in the diverse geography of the Yarra Ranges

• connect local families with necessary services.

• maintain a place-based space for use by mums across the Yarra Ranges for connection, support, workshops and advice

• maintain our online and place-based spaces that nurture safe and supportive cultures benefitting the whole community
