Trauma-Informed Learning Workshops

At Te Kāika, we understand the lasting impact of trauma on individuals, whānau, and communities.

Our Trauma-Informed Learning Workshops combine clinical expertise with kaupapa Māori values to create meaningful pathways for healing and growth.

Trauma-informed care is more than just knowledge—it’s about creating safe, supportive environments where tamariki and whānau can heal and thrive.  Designed for caregivers, these workshops provide essential skills to support tamariki in care. Participation is by referral only.
