Welcome to Whakatū Marae Whānau Ora Services.
We are a fifty-plus-strength staff who deliver services ranging from social work, youth work and youth programmes with a range of whānau-centred navigator roles. We provide support in the family harm space through the delivery of programmes and the participation in family harm prevention groups committed to reducing violence in our communities. Additionally, we provide homes which support young people with specific needs. Whakatū Marae supports kaupapa Māori based activities such as Mau Rakau, Ki-o-Rahi and Waka Ama and of course, we are the custodians of the beautiful Marae which links together six of the eight iwi of Te Tau Ihu o te Waka a Māui.
