Integrated Safety Response (ISR)

Our team work in the Integrated Safety Response (ISR) coordinated by Christchurch police. It is a multi-agency intervention designed to ensure the immediate safety of victims and children, and to work with perpetrators to prevent further violence. ISR takes a whole-family and whānau approach that puts the risk and needs of family and whānau at the centre of their work.

Te Hononga

Te Hononga is our youth mentoring service. Our strong aim with this service is to improve the safety, well-being and health (both mental and physical) of our tamariki and rangatahi who are using violence to express themselves within a family setting. For those who live with inter-generational complexity, the goal is to break the cycle of family harm, keep tamariki and rangatahi engaged in education, and build self-belief and resilience to strengthen their long-term outcomes.
