OUR TENANTS
MIRROR COUNSELLING SERVICES - Aroha Ki Te Tamariki Trust - Room 1
Mirror Services primarily works with children who have experienced trauma (physical, emotional, sexual or environmental/medical neglect). I work with children who have completed a Gateway Assessment through Oranga Tamariki. The gateway assessment is a holistic approach to care and protection, health and mental wellness. Through the gateway assessment these children should receive wrap around services to be able to provide the support and assistance needed for them to thrive in the future. We also work with the parents and caregivers to ensure that they develop positive and trauma informed approaches to parenting and create an understanding of their behaviours and underlying needs.
