Partnering with parents, connecting families, building healthy communities together
Introducing Woven Whānau
Woven Whānau is a local Whanganui initiative developed by parents for parents.
We know that parenting alongside other parents helps us all to thrive and our families to flourish. When we feel confident in creating a stable, loving environment for our children we are part of building healthy communities for all of us, now and for future generations.
Our vision: Thriving parents, flourishing families, healthy communities
At Woven Whānau we aim to partner with parents to create places of connection where they can meet together and share their parenting journey. In journeying together, meeting in neighbourhoods and places where they would naturally connect, with trained Parent Facilitators alongside, we create thriving parents, flourishing families and healthy communities.
Our approach: Widening parent networks across the community
We believe in having Parent Facilitators come alongside parents to help widen their connections across the community, offering information and linking to further support if needed. These Parent Facilitators have natural skills in mentoring and encouragement and training to best help parents thrive.
“If families and whānau are well, tamariki are well. If our whānau, families and tamariki are well, our communities will be too.”
