Family & Child Services
Looking after everyone
Rather than only focusing on the immediate medical needs of a single individual, our Family Services have the ability to expand outward and look at the wellbeing of the entire family as a whole.
With support designed to identify issues and risks that may have a harmful or negative effect on family members, (particularly children), we can work to improve situations to foster positive growth.

Are the kids at risk?
If you suspect your children, or children you know, may be affected by a negative home environment, please get in touch. This could be something as simple as a struggling parent or possible signs of abuse.
Look out for these changes in behaviour:
- child being withdrawn
- odd changes in personality or behaviour
- child acting anxious or uncharacteristically aggressive
- few or no friends and poor social skills
- poor relationship with a parent
- knowledge of adult topics inappropriate for their age
- always wearing clothes which cover their body
- running away
Our Services
Family Centered Services
With the aim of fostering wellbeing/mauri ora for families and whānau who have experienced, or are at risk of experiencing family violence, our Family Centred Service provides an effective, holistic and responsive support service for whānau in need.
Kaupapa Māori Family Start
The first five years of a child’s life is known to be fundamental to their health and development. Kaupapa Māori Family Start is a child-centred, intensive program that focuses on improving children’s health, learning, relationships, family/whānau circumstances, environment and safety.
Whānau Ora
Whānau Ora is an inclusive approach to providing services and opportunities to families across New Zealand. It empowers families as a whole rather than focusing separately on individual family members and their problems.
Youth Services
Our Youth Service aims to identify vulnerable young people and encourage them to participate in individual and group programmes that help transform their lives and set them on the path to a positive and fulfilling adult life.
Here to help
The health of your whānau is important to us. If you have any health concerns please contact us to arrange a clinic booking or mobile services visit.
