Whanganui,MWT

Summary

I have a strong desire to help whanau in the community who are struggling with mental and physical health, housing, and parenting. Whanau who are struggling to create a safe environment for their children owing to domestic violence, alcohol, and drug use in their daily life.

Creating goals with whanau is critical in my practice because it gives a framework for whanau to evaluate their current circumstances. Working towards long-term goals and collaborating with whanau are both rewarding aspects of my job.
Utilising and being directed by an organisation's ideals is critical to the diversity of my profession.
