We have a clear vision here at Home & Family – that all tamariki live a safe and positive childhood. That means they are protected from harm, can thrive, and live in homes with whānau who cherish them.
When tamariki and whānau are supported by Home & Family, they are supported to create change that is sustainable, long-lasting, and intergenerational. We do this by working holistically with all members of the family, strengthening their bonds, and providing the wraparound support required for fostering stability and resilience.
NOTE: Our services are now at capacity and we are not currently accepting referrals. Please check back in August for updates.
