Strong support is vital to ensure stable and secure homes for children in care. It is so important you never feel alone during your caregiving journey. Caring Families New Zealand offers a variety of support, advocacy and information to meet your individual needs.
You can access support by contacting your local Regional Coordinator or national office on 0800 693 323. We will either help you ourselves, or connect you to the help you need. Whether you need information, support with a child’s behaviour or you just need someone to listen.
