The challenges we face as parents, whānau and caregivers when supporting our young people through their tumultuous teenage years can feel overwhelming. Yet often, in hearing others’ stories, we can find ourselves. We can find a path that steps us towards a better solution. If you’ve already walked the path, sharing your stories (anonymously) can help others.

If you have a skill, or specialist domain knowledge or would like to help volunteer for events or workshops, please get in touch with our team.
The more hands we have involved the easier it is to walk this path, together.

Why share your story
Read other's stories
We publish the stories shared by our parent, whānau and caregiver community – we do it anonymously. We are walking this path together. We hope in sharing these stories you can find a path forward too.
Share yours
All stories are posted anonymously – unless requested otherwise. We aim to respect and protect your privacy while using this forum to help open up conversations about the issues and challenges faced by our youth in this community. We reserve the right to review and discuss your story with you before posting (to ensure we minimise harm). Thank you for being brave and walking this path with us.
