Our services help people with the
most important things
We have child, youth, and family support services to help people secure necessities such as a stable home, food, and work. We also help people build healthy relationships in families and communities by breaking down barriers to accessing care, education, and connection.
Lifewise’s family support services play a part in building a society where everyone counts, feels that they belong, and contributes. You can find out about our specific social services in NZ below.
