We do not run any parenting courses ourselves. Whāraurau is responsible for training facilitators of the Incredible Years and Triple P - Positive Parenting programmes.

If you would like to attend an Incredible Years parenting course then contact the Ministry of Education regional office in your area and they will be able to direct you to a provider. Here is a link to a list that details contact information for all Ministry of Education regional offices.

If you would like to attend a free Triple P - Positive Parenting programme in Counties Manukau, Waitematā, MidCentral or Bay of Plenty, then click on this link and you will be directed to a webpage where you will be able to find information on courses.

If we feel the demand is high enough, we’ll consider repeating the training/event.

Our training / events / online courses are open to anyone working with rangatahi | young people who are experiencing mental health or addiction issues. If there is a restriction on who can attend, this will be made clear on the information we provide.

Whāraurau is funded by the  Government to provide training, however as we have limited funds it is important to let us know if you aren't able to attend. This also allows us to offer your place to someone else. Note: we do not cover the cost of travel or accommodation.

Please email coordinator@wharaurau.org.nz outlining the issue you’re having, and we’ll get back to you.

Whāraurau does not offer counselling services. Our role is to provide training and support for people who work with young people.

The team is located in three offices: Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. However, training is run nationally, either in person or online.

Whāraurau is funded by different Government agencies to provide workforce development for people working with infants, children, and young people who are experiencing mental health and addiction issues.
