Family Services

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

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

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.
