Description

We believe in A World Strong with Tamariki, where tamariki and whānau are safe, recover from past trauma, reconnect with each other and create a positive future.

We work to transform the lives of children and young people who are at significant risk of harm to their well-being as a consequence of the environment in which they are being raised and their own complex needs. We partner with families and community stakeholders to support, maintain and enhance our most vulnerable children’s lives in the homes, schools and communities they belong in. We believe that both families and local communities are strengthened in this process.

In support of our vision and mission, Stand Tū Māia values are embedded in tikanga:
- Te reo me ona tikanga - the language and unperpinning values
- Whānau, hapu and iwi – whānau and wider kinship relationships
- Whakamana Tangata – Respect
- Te Whakawhānaungatanga o nga mea katoa – Diversity
- Nga mahi tika – Rectitude

Ages
