The Whānau Tautoko Program is a parenting initiative designed to support and empower families. It will run for a duration of 6 weeks, focusing on various aspects of parenting and family dynamics.

The Whānau Tautoko Program is here to support and empower families focusing on various aspects of parenting.

This program is open to all whānau, and we welcome parents from diverse backgrounds to participate.
