Programmes and services
Family and Community Services manages and funds over 35 programmes and services that support families and communities.
Our early intervention and prevention services get involved early in the life of the child or the life of the problem.
Great parents love and nurture their kids. Great parenting is also about talking, listening, guiding and understanding. It's about providing structure, being consistent and ensuring consequences.
Our programmes seek to lead the change from a society that accepts a level of family violence to one that says there is no place for it.
We aim to create a nationwide network of high quality social services that offer joined up responses for families.
Strengths-based initiatives in Māori and Pacific communities to support and build strong families that are free from violence.
Social support for Canterbury families and communities as they recover and rebuild.
