Building Awesome Whānau

Building Awesome Whānau is a parenting course facilitated by our valued partners and organisations around the motu. To find a BAW course running in your region, or to register your interest as a course facilitator, get in touch with Georgia at support@parentingplace.nz. We'd love to kōrero!

Developed for those raising tamariki aged 2-13, Building Awesome Whānau is full of practical ideas and encouraging stories to equip and empower you to see your dream for your whānau become a reality.

Packed into the Building Awesome Whānau kaupapa are principles and values drawn from mātauranga Māori, including tikanga and te reo Māori. Delivered through a well-being lens, key concepts in the course include the mana and tapu of tamariki, with significant emphasis placed on aroha, manaakitanga and whanaungatanga. 

Building Awesome Whānau offers a safe and non–judgemental environment so you can reflect on your past, explore opportunities for change and gain hope for the future.
