Who we are

Our vision is encapsulated in our logo
“safe family, safe child
maru i te wh?nau maru i te tamariki.”

Our core business is to work with children who have been traumatised by abuse and domestic violence. At the same time, parents are encouraged to support the healing process of their children and often siblings will require the same level of support.

A recent development has been the offering of parenting programmes: Parentline facilitates a Positive Parenting group and Incredible Years – an American programme that has been adapted for New Zealanders.
