Awhi Mai Awhi Atu Counselling in Schools

Our role is to provide counselling support to tamariki to support their social, emotional, and behavioural needs. We create a safe and confidential space where tamariki can express themselves freely and work through any challenges they may be facing. Whether it's offering individual counselling sessions, facilitating group discussions, or collaborating with teachers and parents, we strive to empower tamariki to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

Youth Mentoring

Our programme involves matching young people aged 12 - 24 years of age with mentors who provide guidance, support, and encouragement as they navigate various aspects of their lives, including education, career development, personal growth, and community engagement.

Whanau Support

Our services are designed to empower whānau members across all of our services fostering resilience, connection, and holistic growth.

Currently, we are providing support for whānau with Oranga Tamariki involvement. This is a vital resource aimed at nurturing the well-being and stability of whānau involved. We work alongside Oranga Tamariki so that tamariki can remain, where possible, safely at home with their whānau with the right supports put in place to ensure good outcomes for everyone.

This specialist support recognises the complexities and challenges faced by whānau and works to provide the following:

Culturally Responsive Care​

  • Strengthening Family Bonds​

  • Access to Services​

  • Empowerment and Skill-Building​

  • Collaborative Decision-Making​

  • Holistic Approach
