SOCIAL/COMMUNITY
The Social/Community Work team consists of qualified and highly experienced staff who tend to all of the social work referrals and matters that come Te Ora Hou’s way.
Social/Community Work covers these areas:
- Wrap Around Social Work – support to all whānau and young people involved in TOH programmes
- Whānau Ora – collective approach in supporting families
- PCW (Partnership Community Worker) – health based service
- Youth Justice – engaging offending youth in mentoring and activities to address their offending and prevent recidivism
- Mentoring – 1:1 mentoring, group mentoring, sports mentoring
We come across a wide range of cases with our clients and some times we can’t actually help whānau and young people in-house because of this. To cater to all needs, we have made connections with a wide range of organisations who we refer our clients to if we can’t tend to them here at Te Ora Hou.
