Merri-bek Enhanced Maternal Child Health (EMCH)

The EMCH program provides services to parents and families with additional needs that require a more intensive level of support.

In addressing this need and ensuring vulnerable families can access psychological therapies, our organisation—through our partnership with Merri‑bek City Council Enhanced Maternal and Child Health Team—provides a flexible service model of service delivery, offering both face‑to‑face sessions and telehealth options (via video‑call or telephone) around the families presenting needs and vulnerabilities. 

Working within this service space further underpins our collaboration in achieving accessible and responsive mental health services to vulnerable families living in the Merri-bek municipaity across the significant postpartum period. The EMCH program offers adaptable measures and interventions to families who would benefit from targeted support.
