Help Us Grow This Kaupapa
Endometriosis affects more than the person living with the condition. It can also affect relationships, whānau life, education, work, social activities and the people providing care and support.
Partners, parents, whānau, friends, teachers, employers and caregivers often want to help but may not always understand the full impact endometriosis can have, or know what meaningful support looks like.
We provide trusted education, practical resources and guidance to help support people better understand symptoms, chronic pain, fatigue, flares, treatment, emotional wellbeing and the everyday challenges that can come with endometriosis.
Support can look different for everyone. Sometimes it means listening without judgement, helping with practical tasks, allowing flexibility, learning about the condition, attending appointments, or simply believing someone when they say they are struggling.
When the people around someone have the right information, compassion and understanding, they can make a real difference.
No one should have to navigate endometriosis alone, and no support person should feel they have to figure everything out by themselves.
Finding reliable information about endometriosis can feel overwhelming, especially when information is confusing, conflicting, overly clinical, or does not reflect the realities of living with a chronic whole-body condition.
Our Resource Hub brings together trusted, practical and easy-to-understand information to support those with endometriosis, those seeking answers, and the whānau and support people walking alongside them.
You can explore downloadable guides, factsheets, symptom tools, appointment preparation resources, self-advocacy support, workplace and education information, and practical strategies for navigating everyday life.
Our resources are informed by evidence, lived experience and the needs we hear from our community. They are designed to help you better understand symptoms, feel more prepared for health appointments, communicate your needs, explore support options and feel more confident advocating for yourself.
No one should have to navigate endometriosis alone.
Living with endometriosis can feel isolating, especially when symptoms are misunderstood, support is limited, or it feels like no one truly understands the impact on everyday life.
Through workshops, events, storytelling, awareness campaigns and community initiatives, we create spaces where people can connect, share experiences, learn from one another and feel seen, heard and supported.
Our community mahi is grounded in lived experience, manaakitanga and inclusion. Whether someone is newly diagnosed, still seeking answers, supporting a loved one, or has been living with endometriosis for years, there is a place for them here.
We believe connection can reduce isolation, build confidence and remind people that they do not have to face this journey on their own.
Every education session, period pack, workshop, resource and support conversation is made possible through the generosity, time and commitment of our volunteers, donors, funders, partners and wider community.
Your support helps us continue providing free and accessible menstrual health education, practical period products, trusted resources, one-to-one support and endometriosis advocacy.
It also helps us reach more schools, kura, workplaces and communities, reduce stigma, strengthen understanding, and support earlier recognition of symptoms that may not be normal.
Our goal is to grow this kaupapa beyond Wellington and make Periods, Pain & Real Talk, practical resources and endometriosis support more widely available across Aotearoa.
Whether you donate, volunteer, fund a programme, partner with us, share our mahi or help us reach a new community, you are helping create meaningful change.
Together, we can improve access, build understanding and ensure more people feel informed, supported and believed.
