Birthright Levin
Birthright Levin is a non-government organisation which works only with single parent (or caregiver) families. We believe that all children have the right to a good start in life, help in times of crisis and the opportunity to reach their full potential. Birthright believes the way to do that is to holistically support the entire whanau/family unit. Our task is to facilitate the growth of confidence, development of living skills and wellbeing within the family and its individual members.
Every client family will be assigned a Fieldworker/Social Worker who will assist them to develop a plan that reflects their own family’s needs and goals.
Services Offered:
Our services to Birthright Families/whanau may include:
- Regular home visits
- Emotional and parenting support
- Advocacy with WINZ, CYFS, GP’S, Housing NZ and many others
