Family Start is an intensive home visiting programme that focuses on improving tamariki health and development. It supports whānau who have challenges or problems that may make it harder for them to care for their pēpi or young tamariki.
Whānau work with a Whānau Awhina / Family Support Worker to strengthen and improve parenting skills for the benefit of the child as well as to achieve whānau goals.
