We recognise that Aotearoa is a diverse country, with families encompassing many different family shapes, sizes, beliefs and backgrounds.

We support anyone raising a child with information and strategies to build a strong family unit, including parents in marriages, single and solo parents, same-sex couples, parents living together, parents navigating divorce and co-parenting, grandparents raising children, whāngai, foster and adoptive parents.

Our aim is that any parent can find support and encouragement from our work, regardless of their religion, gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.

We are inclusive, knowing that having a stable relationship with at least one supportive parent or adult is the strongest predictor of a child’s wellbeing.

Our vision: That every parent* in Aotearoa feels confident and every child feels deeply loved

Our mission:  Supporting parents** to build strong family relationships

*anyone raising a kid including parents, caregivers, grandparents, aunties, uncles, guardians, foster carers.
