About Villagehood Australia

Villagehood Australia is a registered charity dedicated to empowering the community to help support the health & wellbeing of mothers, who are 95% of the time, the primary carers of children in the early years.

Over the past three years, VA has built a strong support network that assists mothers to beat loneliness and isolation and build their capacity to better cope with the everyday challenges and invisible struggles of motherhood.

As a peer support organisation, we offer a safe place for mothers and children to come to and an alternative way to support their mental health. To participate women do not need of a doctor referral, there is no wait time and there is no stigma attached (women trust us because we get it and don’t judge).

More specifically we offer a combination of programs that help improve the wellbeing of mothers and positively influence the children’s development.

Our evidence-based programs combine peer support and a group activity (moving, singing, creating, learning) to enable community connection, growth and alleviate the stigma around mental health to seek help early. The evidence shows that these programs can positively impact the health & wellbeing of mothers and children.
