Caring Families Aotearoa supports caregivers who open their homes and hearts to children and young people. This includes foster caregivers, whānau caregivers, respite caregivers and permanent (home for life) caregivers.
We provide training, encouragement, advocacy, information and support to caregiver families, throughout New Zealand, so that the placement has the best possible chance of success.
Every care journey is different. There will be ups and downs, detours and snags - we don't have one road map for all. What we do have is 50 years of experience in helping to create homes that heal. Our practice is based on the latest research for tamariki and rangitahi who have not had the best start in life, for whatever reason. Our goal is always the same: the best outcome for kids in care.
