About this site
The Family Services Directory is a searchable online database.
It lists information about family support organisations and the services/programmes they offer to support New Zealand families (we call the organisations in the Family Services Directory "providers").
The purpose of the Family Services Directory is to connect people with providers who can help them to cope with common issues and problems.
