Strategic Key Focus Areas
People – We provide peer-led, evidence based, face-to-face support.
Advocacy – We speak up for vulnerable families and improve community awareness about perinatal mental health.

Service model
Radiance has established five levels of service and educational support, grounded in core principles to ensure person-centered and paced recovery outcomes. This approach integrates wrap-around, evidence-based methodologies and enhances understanding of mental health. Parents may be referred by a healthcare professional or can choose to self-refer. All of Radiance’s support services are provided at no cost.
