Stand Children's Services - Tu Maia Whanau
Stand Children's Services provides a range of services and programmes based on current research and our own experience working with children and families over the last nine decades. Our services and programmes are child centred, family-driven, solution focused, collaborative, individualised, culturally competent, and community based. The concept of “Village†underpins our practice. This is a wraparound model that builds on child and family strengths and highlights team cohesiveness and mutual respect. Team members include children and young people, parents, field social workers, mentors, residential social workers, school social workers and other services and agencies involved with the child and family. Each team member brings their own unique knowledge and skills to the process.
Stand Children's Services serves the child and family as a supportive partner in the process of:
•assessing needs and strengths
•regaining hope and motivation
•developing insight and aspirations
•making plans, and
•achieving dreams
