Te Ara Whānau: Whānau Support Services

Supporting wāhine and their whānau to recover from physical, sexual and emotional abuse, that has happened today, yesterday, last week, last year or years ago. When you are ready, we are here to support you.

Using Te Ao Māori ways of being, we place whānau at the centre of our support to guide what we do and how we do it. We can support you with:

  • Designing your whānau safety plan.
  • Accessing our Safe House, if needed.
  • Accessing legal and medical advice.
  • Entry to our Pou Hine and Pou Tama wānanga.
  • Accessing Kōrero awhina (counselling).
  • Accessing support from WINZ and other Government Departments.
  • Access to our Pātaka Kai.
  • Responding to the unexpected.
  • 24/7 support using our crisis telephone line.
  • Whānau Protect, a monitored security alarm and home safety improvements for wāhine and their whānau to live safely in their home.
