Whānau Support Service

Woolston Development Project has supported local whānau for many years. Our Whānau Support Worker Dena can be contacted on 020 4035 6964 or by email at dena@wdp.org.nz

-Advocacy and support with Work & Income and other social welfare
agencies

-Guidance to ensure you are receiving your full and correct entitlements

-Budgeting support and practical financial planning

-Advocacy and communication support with your child’s school

-Support navigating custody or co-parenting matters

-Strategies and practical support for neurodiverse tamariki

-Assistance accessing assessments, specialist services, and funding for
neurodiverse tamariki

-A supportive, non-judgemental space – sometimes just a listening
empathetic ear
