Whakatōhea Iwi Social & Health Services was initiated by the Board (through Te Pou Oranga o Whakatōhea ) to address the changing needs of our community. We support our Whānau to ensure:
Our pēpi are born healthy, thrive and are well prepared for school. Our tamariki live in safe and nurturing homes Our rangatahi are ambitious, contributing, highly performing members of our community. Our staff will meet with whānau to discuss what support or service they are requiring, whānau will then be referred to the appropriate service and staff member who can support their needs. Our staff will work alongside whānau to develop their plans to ensure all their needs are identified. Regular follow ups with whānau to ensure that the needs from their plans are being met, referrals to other services to ensure whānau receive the most appropriate service by the most appropriate staff (internal/external) Whakatōhea Iwi Social & Health provides a range of social and health services including:
