We are in communities that need help to unleash the potential of their children, young people and parents. At Great Potentials we are working for and with children, young people and families to promote family function, relieve suffering, release potential, reduce disparities in New Zealand society, reduce crime and violence and break the cycle of disadvantage. Our purpose is a broad one - Helping children, young people and families towards brighter futures.
Through our Family Service Centres - we help parents make the transition to ‘conscious parenting’, helping them develop the empathy and the practical skills necessary for their children to thrive.
Through HIPPY – our Home Interaction Programme for Parents and Youngsters – we help parents become their child’s first and most important teacher, in preparation for the transition into school and the child’s pathway through education.
Through MATES – our Mentoring and Tutoring Education Scheme – we help young people make a secure transition into secondary school and to make the transition into tertiary study, training or employment.
