Description
Family Works Southland builds safe, strong and connected families. Our services are free and confidential. We work with children and young people from 0-17 years old, as well as their parents and families.
At the heart of Family Works is the understanding that family life can be challenging, no matter what your experience and resources. So, we work from the basis that strong, self-sufficient families are the best places to grow happy and healthy children, and that the family is the backbone of each and every community.
Our work is about empowering families to help themselves as they face the inevitable challenges of family life and to work with them so they can flourish.
Family Works is provided by Presbyterian Support Southland.
Our service areas include Southland, Gore, Te Anau and Queenstown.
