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
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
