Reconnect Family Services

Our organisation offers care and protection for young people while reducing their re-offending rates. We help young people learn, make the right choices, reintegrate back into education and training, rebuild relationships with their whanau and teach them how to imagine solid goals for themselves. We go the extra mile for our young people. It’s all part of our vision of believing each young person can change, if they want to. Our highly-trained team of mentors, youth workers, caregivers, clinical case managers and programme managers offer a friendly face that adds value at every step of the programme. One-on-one, face-to-face mentoring helps these young people imagine a life away from crime, violence, drug abuse and self-harm. We can house them; educate them; teach them how to cook, wash and stay off drugs; and provide them with the tools of self-reflection. Each young person has the chance on each one of our five programmes to consider another path they might take, in a safe and stable family environment.
