Strengthening Families

Strengthening Families provides coordinated support for families who are working with more than two agencies. The agencies and the family work together to develop joint solutions, rather than each agency dealing with one part of the problem and never seeing the bigger picture.

This site provides:

• information for families
• information for agencies.

More resources for families are available on the Family and Community Services website.

Strengthening Families is supported by:

ACC, Child Youth and Family, Department of Corrections, Department of Internal Affairs, District Health Boards, Housing NZ, Inland Revenue, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Justice, New Zealand Police and Ministry of Social Development.
