Birthright Hawkes Bay Child & Family Care Trust

Welcome to Birthright Hawke's Bay Child & Family Care Trust, located on Taradale Road in Napier, New Zealand. As a trusted establishment in the health sector, we are a point of interest for families in need of support and care.

At Birthright Hawke's Bay, we are dedicated to providing coordinated services that support and protect children and families in the Hawke's Bay region. Our strength-based services are designed to bring positive change to the lives of those we serve.

As a professional and confidential institution, we offer holistic social services and early childhood education to families. Our primary focus is on the care, protection, welfare, and best interests of the child or young person.

One of our flagship programs is a free 8-week positive parenting program. This program helps parents nurture family relationships while also supporting their own emotional well-being. Participants have reported significant improvements in their family dynamics and overall happiness.

We have had success stories like Rangi, who came to Birthright seeking advice on how to cope with her children's challenging behavior at school. Through our support, she was able to find effective strategies to address these issues. Similarly, Billie used to face disciplinary problems at school due to his habit of yelling out in class. With the help of our Community Social Workers, he was able to overcome this challenge.

We also work with parents like Pam, who recognized the need to improve her parenting skills. She reached out to us when she realized she was not being the best mother she could be. Through our guidance, she learned healthier communication techniques and created a more positive environment for her children.

In addition to our core services, we also organize events and celebrations. Recently, we celebrated our first official Matariki together with our pre-school mokopuna and their whanau. It was a joyous occasion that brought our community closer.

As part of our commitment to youth development, we have talented individuals like Grayson Uncles, an artist and member of our team. Grayson adds the finishing touches to our projects, bringing creativity and inspiration to our work.

We are proud to be a part of the Hawke's Bay community, and we actively participate in events like the annual bikers toy run. This event, which had to take a break due to Covid, is set to rumble through town again, spreading joy and happiness.

At Birthright Hawke's Bay, we understand that parenting can be challenging. That's why we offer a range of national help lines and websites that provide free information, help, and advice. We are here to support parents through all their parenting challenges, offering a free, confidential, and non-judgmental telephone counseling service available 24/7, 365 days a year for all young people.

Join us at Birthright Hawke's Bay Child & Family Care Trust, where we strive to make a positive difference in the lives of children and families in our community.
