Caring Families Aotearoa

Caring Families Aotearoa exists to support the thousands of children in care in Aotearoa, by supporting their caregivers. Caregiving is a broad term it covers anyone raising a child that isnt their own. This includes foster caregivers, whanau caregivers, respite caregivers and permanent (home for life) caregivers. Being a caregiver (foster or whanau) can be challenging, and it is vital that you never feel alone during your caregiving journey. Strong support is important to ensure a stable and secure home for children in care. Caring Families Aotearoa offers our members a variety of support options; one on one support, support groups and Facebook groups. Caring Families Aotearoa offers specially designed training for caregivers parenting tamariki and rangatahi (children and young people) who have relationship difficulties, especially children who have experienced insecure attachments, trauma, loss and or separation, or family violence
