Te Puna Ararau

Te Puna Ararau recognises that every tamaiti carries their own strengths, identity and potential. We walk alongside tamariki, drawing from their puna, whānau, te taiao, hapori and our collective knowledge to help them recognise and choose meaningful ara. 

The programme provides targeted early intervention for tamariki aged 7–14 who need more individualised support with challenges at home, school, relationships or wellbeing. Its purpose is to respond early, strengthen the foundations around the tamaiti and prevent concerns from developing into crisis or more intensive service needs.
