Family Services

Supporting and empowering children, young people, and families using their existing strengths as the core of our work.

Our three family services offer support to whānau to help them make positive changes in their lives.

Some of the services we provide include:

  • General social work
  • Counselling
  • Financial mentoring

  • Parenting advice and programmes
  • Social Workers in Schools (SWiS)
  • Youth mentoring
  • Food banks
  • Community meals
  • Social groups

We use an evidence-based social work practice framework that is client-centred, solutions-focused, and strengths-based. We encourage each person we work with to use their own strengths and resources to make positive changes and reach their goals.
