Our Child and Adolescent Wellbeing team are dedicated to mitigating the impact of family violence, trauma, grief, physical or social neglect, abuse, gender identification, and bullying on children and youth.

We understand that children and young people require tailored support based on their age and developmental stage to heal. In our safe and nurturing environment, children and youth can freely express themselves and find solutions to their challenges.

By fostering improved communication between parents and children, we drive sustainable change within entire family units. Our mission is to empower children and youth to overcome adversity and thrive in the face of adversity.

Our teamwork with children in need of therapeutic support due to experiencing behaviours that have become difficult for them to manage. This could be due to trauma, or significant changes which have stopped them enjoying important aspects of their family/social life.

Through rigorous assessment and a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychology, education and other interventions, we are able to support and address these issues and help children and their families heal.

Our Te Hononga youth mentoring programme aims to improve the safety, well-being and health (both mental and physical) of our tamariki and rangatahi who experience, or use, violence within their home context. For those who live with inter-generational complexity, the goal is to break the cycle of family harm, keep tamariki and rangatahi engaged in education, and build self-belief and resilience to strengthen their long-term outcomes.

We currently have one, female kaiārahi offering one-on-one mentoring over 12 weeks. If you would like to make a referral, please click below:
