Our Kaupapa
Our first mihi is to the whānau who allow us to walk alongside them to help facilitate their journey towards wellness. We are very grateful to be right in the middle of this hapori (community) connected to whānau. At the heart of our practice is relationship (Te Whakakoha Rangatiratanga) and through relationship grows āhurutanga (safety), healing, overcoming challenges and restoration of hope. We strive to ensure every whānau feel important, heard and advocated for and that this ripples out even wider to extended whānau and community.
What sets us apart is our absolute commitment to strengths-based practice where every person and whānau strengths are grown to be even greater. We are steadfast to this approach because it works! We are a diverse team, each with special interests, passion areas, experiences and strengths and are committed to the development of best practice.
He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata.
What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people.
