At Home & Family | Te Whare Manaaki Tangata, we believe all tamariki deserve a childhood free from violence, abuse, and neglect. Not only should they be protected from harm – but nurtured by whānau who cherish them and given every opportunity to thrive.
Based in Canterbury, we provide integrated services such as parent education, trauma-focused therapeutic support, and specialised services for youth who initiate violence. Our holistic approach breaks cycles of harm and builds lasting, intergenerational change — creating brighter futures for whānau across our region.
Our work is only possible thanks to the generosity of our local community. By becoming a monthly donor, you help us continue this vital mahi and ensure we can keep making a meaningful impact for generations to come.
