Whitiwhiti Korero: An interagency relationship model that evolved from the Shared Case Management Model. Practioners whose client base is located in Motueka meet as a collective four times a year to grow their knowledge as a group and ensure there is solid, trustful and professional relationships throughout the rohe.
Some of our earlier projects include:
Recognizing and Responding to Child Neglect and Risk: Safe Families Motueka led a community collaboration project focused solely on the Early Childhood Education (ECE) sector.
We recognised the valuable role this sector plays in working with some of our most vulnerable children in our community and felt it was a valuable investment in the health and wellbeing of our community and the children and whanau in it. As well as upskilling the whole of this sector in the Motueka area it was aimed at increasing staff confidence to address vulnerabilities early, respectfully and constructively.
Community Training Series: Safe Families Motueka hosted a free workshop session for practitioners/professionals on the 14th March 2019. Our speaker, presented ways of working with traumatised children and ways for practioners to help parents and carers to manage behaviour in positive ways.
Agency Open Door Hui: Every month a different agency in Motueka hosts a meeting to encourage cross-agency visits and shared understanding. Relationships, confidence and trust are built through this regular meet up. Open door hui are ongoing and have been running since 2013. Keep an eye on our calendar for upcoming hui, all welcome.
Shared Case Management Model: A way for different agencies to provide a family/whanau centered set of interventions if there are many or complex challenges. Guiding principles for this model are respect, transparency, consent, and collaboration.
Developed in partnership with the Motueka Family Service Centre and SVS-Living Safe (now RISE) in 2013 it has consistently proved to be an effective approach of “wrapping” services around a whanau vulnerable to the effects of family violence. Women’s Support Motueka and Family Start were involved in working within this model and a review of effectiveness has been undertaken.
