You are not alone

If you're feeling unsure about seeking support, know that you'll be met with respect, understanding, and aroha, no matter your situation. Support is confidential and non-judgmental, designed to empower rather than criticise. Your cultural values are honoured and integrated. Many whānau have walked this path and found strength. Seeking help is a strength, not a weakness. We offer practical, holistic, and tailored support. Take the first step at your own pace. We are ready to listen and walk alongside you.

Our unique approach

Our Whānau Support services stand out because we are deeply rooted in a holistic, culturally responsive approach that prioritises the unique needs and strengths of each whānau. Grounded in values such as whanaungatanga, manaakitanga, and tino rangatiratanga, whakapapa, focusing on the entire whānau unit and addressing physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs simultaneously. We build on whānau strengths, empowering them to lead their own journey with flexible, responsive, and community-connected support.

Are you experiencing hardship?

We support whānau experiencing significant instability and hardship, often facing housing insecurity, financial stress, disconnection from cultural roots, health challenges, and difficulty accessing education and employment. Our goal is to create a safe, stable environment and provide holistic support that honors cultural identity, rebuilds wellbeing, and empowers whānau to regain control over their lives.
