Tamariki (child) and rangatahi (youth) deserve unwavering support and care from their community as they navigate life’s challenges. Early experiences with mental health issues are common – and timely, compassionate support can significantly shape their futures.
We collaborate closely with young people and their whānau to provide the necessary support for a hopeful and positive future. Our aim is to build strong, trusting relationships and honour the unique strengths and gifts each young person brings.
We have a number of residential, respite and community support services across the motu that cater to tamariki and rangatahi facing mental health or substance-use challenges, or those in need of care and protection services. Referrals and access to most of these services come through Oranga Tamariki or Te Whatu Ora Child and Youth Mental Health Services.
Examples of our services include:
