Facebook lives

Facebook Live chats are run twice a month by our PlunketLine team and are an opportunity for you to find out more about different topics – and to ask questions.

We’ll promote upcoming chats through our Plunket New Zealand Facebook page, and you can find old chats under the videos section. 

Topics include things like:

• Caring for skin – all about eczema
• Preparing nutritious meals
• Understanding your babies cues

As well as public health responses to events concerning our parents and caregivers, like novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and measles.

#DadChats

We also ran a special Facebook Live series called #DadChats, with the Plunket dad panel – Taka, Jonny and Tom.

These chats cover things like:

• Fatherhood and Mental Health – with Dion a Mental Health Nurse
• Neuroscience and Culture – with Latu from the Brainwave Trust
• Dad Bods: Looking after yourself – with Nathan from Change Fitness.
