We are working to update this page regularly.
Check in with the recent Alert Level announcements here.

Your focus will be on your whānau, and the Taiohi you work with. Our focus is you. Sometimes you might need to talk with someone who understands your mahi, and that you can trust.
We would be honoured to be that person for you. How this looks will depend on what you want, and strengths of the person you meet with. It will be strengths based (i.e., looking at the strengths you have and how they can support you through this season).
It might look like youth work convos, supervision, coaching, mentoring or digital trouble-shooting. There is no charge for this. If you need ongoing support we will look at how to connect you with someone who can journey with you.

We’ve created an Immediate Risk Referral sheet and categorised it for quick reference.

If you have services to add please let us know here.
