Empowering families, rangatahi, and tamariki through coordinated support.
Tū Pono
Tū Pono Connectors support whānau affected by family and sexual harm so that they are empowered to access the support services they need. Crucial to this service is the need for our Connectors to build and establish sustainable relationships and partnerships with local and regional community stakeholders to drive systematic change, towards the elimination of family violence and sexual harm.
Family violence is not okay.
This service is for:
All whānau - no matter where you are from.
Beneficial for:
Our Tū Pono Connectors will:
- Support whānau who want to access Te Ao Māori solutions to address family and sexual violence and harm

- Work with whānau and key agencies on kaupapa relating to the elimination of family violence and sexual abuse.

Takiri mai ra ko te ata i te tonga. Ka whariki mai te manu kua ao kua awatea. He ngākau aroha e kitea i roto inga to pito o te whare, Ngā uri whaka tupu ki te maunga teitei. E rupu mai ana e ngā hua papai, He oranga mō te iwi māori. - Nā te Kuia nā Keupe Stafford Fairest.
