Ask for support
Any child or young person who is currently in care, or has been in care, can ask for support from a Kaiwhakamana up until the age of 25.
Young people can contact us directly themselves, or a referral can be made by a parent, caregiver, whānau member, social worker, or another trusted professional. The most important thing is that the young person agrees to the support. We will only become involved with their knowledge and consent.
Getting in touch is easy. You can contact us by phone, email, or through our social media channels. We simply need the young person's name, where they're based, and the best way to contact them. From there, a member of our local team will get in toRequest Nowuch to talk about how we can support them.
