Social Work

How we work

We understand that whānau are often the best at identifying their own needs.  By collaborating with you, we can help support your development, growth, and independence through mana-enhancing practices.
Our approach to addressing complex needs is empowering you.  We believe you should be free to choose the support services that best suit your needs, enabling a holistic and effective wrap-around approach.
