Holistic Wrap-around Support for Mātua Taiohi and Hapū Māmā
Supporting Young Parents in Their First 2,000 Days
Tūmatakāhuki offers tailored tautoko (support) for mātua taiohi (young parents), hapū māmā and their pēpi during the critical early years of parenting. Our service combines advocacy, housing, health, parenting, cultural reconnection and mental wellbeing support to help whānau thrive. Through guidance, practical resources and connections, we nurture resilience, break intergenerational cycles, and support whānau on their journey to a brighter future.
Whānau-centred Support
Ensures mātua taiohi have access to vital resources, housing, and services to raise their pēpi in a safe, supportive environment.
Cultural and Emotional Wellbeing
Provides exposure to te ao Māori, cultural navigation, and mental health support to build confidence and strengthen identity.
Advocacy and Access Support
Helps navigate government services, access financial help, housing advocacy, and create strong parenting foundations.
Breaking Cycles of Trauma
Supports whānau in disrupting intergenerational trauma through guidance, healing spaces and kaupapa Māori frameworks.
Our Support Process
At E Tipu E Rea, we initiate support with a straightforward three-step process:
Initial Contact
The journey begins when you fill out our form or contact us. This first step is crucial in opening the doors to assistance and understanding.
Triage & Assessment
Each enquiry is carefully triaged to understand the unique needs of the whānau. This ensures that the support provided is tailored and effective.
Personalised Planning
A dedicated Kaiāwhina is assigned to whānau, who will arrange a first visit for whanaungatanga. Whanaungatanga is the cornerstone of our ongoing support and will help us plan for the support we give you.
Supporting Whānau with a focus on the crucial first 2,000 days of parenting.
We are dedicated to supporting young parents, their pēpi, hapū māmā, and the wider whānau to plan for their own growth and leadership development. Our tautoko includes, employment and housing, events, leadership wānanga and other opportunities, counselling, social support, hauora services for pēpi and parents (Immunisations and Well Child Tamariki Ora), midwifery, and connection to Mātauranga Māori; including mobile Māori play, rongoā and tūpuna parenting.
