An intensive one to one mentoring service for at risk Māori rangatahi aged between 12-17 years and their whānau.

Rangatahi who enter into this programme may have high need and complex cases which often result in a state of dis-empowerment.

Our Mentors will work in collaboration with the whānau and rangatahi to develop personalised plans outlining strategies to address complex issues and provide support, advocacy and manaakitanga for pre-determined goals to be met.

The key aims and common objectives of individualised developmental plans are:

• Drugs/alcohol education

• Bullying and Harassment prevention strategies 

• Future goal setting and educational/vocational development

• Increased self esteem and confidence and building positive relationships with whānau

• Engaging in constructive social connections with peers

• Physical and mental wellbeing and cultural development
