Family Works is a Presbyterian Support social service, helping build safer, more resilient, and connected, families/whānau and communities. When tamariki are safe they feel secure and protected. Resilient families have the ability to bounce back from adversity and being connected helps whānau feel supported and included in their communities.
Our services are tailored to meet the needs of each child, young person, parent and whānau, while building on the strengths they already have. Informed by research and evidence, we support people to reach positive solutions.
What we can do for you
When life, events or issues feel too big for your children/tamariki and whānau, we're here to support you so you can build healthy relationships and grow a strong family.
There is no guide book when it comes to parenting. Fortunately, our Family Works team offer a number of parenting programmes designed to help you and your tamariki thrive.
Our team will help you understand money, live on a budget, and access the Youth Payment or Young Parent Payment and work your way to financial stability.
