tamariki/Rangatahi mentoring 

The Rangatahi/Tamariki Mentoring Service is a free, kaupapa Māori, community-based service available to tamariki and rangatahi up to 17 years old and their whānau. Referrals can come directly from whānau or through school SENCOs across our local area.

This non-clinical, strengths-based service provides support, education, and advocacy for young people who may be experiencing personal, whānau, or environmental challenges that are impacting their wellbeing or behaviour at school or in the community.

The service is youth-led and tailored to meet the needs of each individual, taking place wherever tamariki and their whānau feel most comfortable. It focuses on helping rangatahi develop life skills, recognise behavioural patterns, build resilience, and set meaningful goals to navigate life’s ups and downs.
