Many young New Zealanders aspire to a better life for themselves and their family but are limited by their own upbringing and personal circumstances. Creating a family of their own is often a response to their own past experience; one that quickly leads to stress and strain rather than the fulfilment and belonging they had hoped for. They find themselves with a family for which they lack the resources, skills and support to look after. Our goal is to give vulnerable families the opportunity to transform their family life for good. We are committed to seeing families freed from long-term damage that negatively affects the next generation. Our vision and values guide and direct us in our work. Our vision is "Future generations of New Zealanders raising strong healthy families." Our values are: Whanaungatanga - Connected. We seek to form the kind of relationships that connect us to whanau as whanau. Te Maia - Courage. We are courageous with families, partners and ourselves. Manaaki - Respect. We seek equal and fair treatment for all; valuing the uniqueness of each person. Te Whakahaere – Stewardship. We are committed to investing our resources and time efficiently and effectively.
