Today we join Aotearoa in standing for the safety and wellbeing of our tamariki. Every child deserves to grow up feeling safe, valued, and protected. Together, we can help make that possible.
Thereโs a lot of work to do. As a nation, we report ๐ต๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐. Behind every statistic is a child whose life is changed forever. But every small act of care helps build an Aotearoa where our children can be safe.
At Parent Help, our vision is ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐๐ก๐ฅ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ก๐ค๐ฅ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ง๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ง๐๐จ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐ฌ๐ฤ๐ฃ๐๐ช ๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ข ๐๐๐ช๐จ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฃ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ฉ.
Prevention begins with strengthening whฤnau, supporting parents, and creating homes grounded in manaakitanga and connection.

๐ฌ Counselling support is also available for parents, caregivers, and whฤnau.
We can all make a difference:
โข Listen to children and believe them
โข Teach body safety and online safety at home, early and often
โข Get to know the people who are part of your childโs world
โข Check in with whฤnau around you. Notice sudden changes in behaviour or unexplained injuries and follow up
โข Support organisations like Child Matters NZ, Women's Refuge New Zealand and Parent Help who all work to protect children
Every voice raised for our tamariki makes Aotearoa a safer place.
