Mediate works with Oranga Tamariki to provide a broad range of professional assistance with specialist skills to work with at risk Māori & Pasifika youth.
Mediate works with Oranga Tamariki in providing a broad range of services. Our mentors are uniquely qualified and have on-site professional development to specialise in working alongside our most at-risk Māori & Pasifika youth between the ages of 9-14 years.
Our mentors are trained and passionate about working with young people who may be going through a difficult time in their life. As caring, empathetic and positive role models, they assist the young person in building confidence and resilience so they can make informed decision for their future.
We care about a healthy future for our children and we believe firmly that education around their health and well-being is paramount in this day in age. Every interaction around some of these areas is an opportunity to influence and shape the future of the child.
Our specialised assistance ranges from youth development services, transport, tracking, 6 to 12 week supported bail programs, weekend respite service and care during the busy holiday periods.
Being an ethnic specific service, we foster genuine connections with our clients. They both share lived experiences within their unique culture, our mentors have the sensitivity and awareness around challenges youth may face growing up.
Our mentors assess, plan and provide programmes alongside clients to support and strengthen their psychosocial wellbeing.
The onus is on strengthening all facets of their hauora. Teaching them basic everyday skills around the house helps to uplift their sense of self-worth to become valued members of their whanau.
We are equally dedicated to strengthening connections to their culture and understanding their whakapapa; in turn bringing le vā closer. We strive to create a caring a nurturing environment so our clients feel empowered to make positive decisions and choices in their community.
“It’s pleasing to see a service available that is sensitive to each individual culture in the pacific. The cultures seem similar from the outside, but looking deeper they are all so different and unique.”
“Nobody is doing care from a health perspective. This is the world we live in, These are the issues we need addressed. Well done Mediate.”.
“I’m so grateful for Mediate taking my daughter to the doctors for a checkup. We had no idea her heart was so enlarged. She’s diagnosed and having treatment now.”
