what we do
Genesis Youth Trust offers a wraparound service for rangatahi referred by NZ Police and Oranga Tamariki, the Ministry for Children. Our services include Social Work, Youth Mentoring and Family & Counselling services.
We deliver our services from different sites across Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland;
-
Counties Manukau West (Mangere, Papatoetoe, Otahuhu)
-
Counties Manukau South (Papakura, Pukekohe, Waiuku, Tuakau)
-
Counties Manukau Central (Manukau)
-
Auckland East (Glen Innes, Panmure, Mt Wellington).
Our Multi-Disciplinary Team has dedicated Mentors, Counsellors, and Social Workers who work collaboratively with our young people and their families.
Genesis can be accessed through a Police or Oranga Tamariki referral. If your young person is involved with either organisation and is needing support and guidance, Genesis is ready to provide the appropriate services.
oranga tamariki referrals
Our young people referred to us by Oranga Tamariki Youth Justice go through a restorative justice process which includes a Family Group Conference (FGC) plan, where we as Genesis are invited to present our different services.
We are often brought on to a young person’s FGC plan to offer our Mentoring and Parenting Programmes. These FGC plans can continue for up to 4-6 months. Other components of the young person’s FGC plan could include other services in the community and are an opportunity for us to work in partnership with other agencies.
