The Mana Rangatahi Youth Programme is a 10 week safety programme for youth between the ages of 12 to 18 years, who have witnessed or experienced family harm. The aim for the facilitators, from Palmerston North Women’s Refuge, is to provide education within an encouraging environment where Youth are able to talk openly about their feelings in relation to family harm, share their experiences of family harm and know that they are supported. Please note, the Youth Programme is not a counselling or therapy service.
Where the youth is under the age of 16 a parent or caregiver MUST consent to this referral.
