Care Services

Service types: Advocacy, Family / whānau support, Information & support, Social work.

Even with a high level of support there are times when it becomes necessary for children and young people to leave the care of their parents. Wherever possible this care is undertaken by family/whānau. Where this is not possible, foster care can be provided for a short time as respite or for a longer term. This can lead to a permanent placement arrangement if necessary. Open Home Foundation (OHF) provides care for the Ministry of Health, Oranga Tamariki and for children and young people who are in the custody-care of OHF.
