Franklin Family Support Services
Welcome to Franklin Family Support Services.
Franklin Family Support Services in Pukekohe is a leading agency for social services in the Franklin District.
We are fortunate to hold the Heartlands MSD contract for our area which enables us to host a range of Government agencies at our hub in Pukekohe. This includes a regular JP service three mornings a week.
Social workers walk alongside whanau/families and individuals using mana enhancing practice and frameworks.
Our financial mentors help people plan for a more financially stable future, explore financial options and help work on reducing debt and hardship.
Our counseling team works with children, teens, and adults to explore personal issues and work on strategies for positive mental health. We work with a range of people to explore the stress and anxiety they may be experiencing and help them resolve issues in their lives that are making it difficult for them to live happily and positively.
We offer two parenting courses for parents to pick up new ideas, tips, and support during their parenting journey. Our free Incredible Years (IY) program for parents with 3-8 year olds and a parenting toolbox for parents with teens (12-18 years)
Our driver service helps people in the Franklin community who have no transport to attend hospital appointments. This service is run by volunteer drivers.
We offer a range of services to the community such as a Justice of the Peace clinic, getting smoke free (Smoking Cessation) and free 15-minute lawyer appointments.
