Our team can support pathways toward housing and accommodation, employment, education and training, life skills development, and stronger connections to whānau, culture and community.

See The Six Pillars of Reintegration in this accordion menu for more information.

Reintegration programmes like this support whaiora to return safely to the community following time in prison, including those relocated to New Zealand on an order.

That help starts at the earliest opportunity with training and education, addressing health needs, and planning for the future.

Supporting people who leave prison reduces the likelihood of re-offending.

Everyone who goes to prison will one day be released, and it can be challenging to readjust to life in the community. This includes getting used to new technologies and new ways of doing things.

People can also face prejudice because of their conviction, making it harder for them to find a place to live or get a job.

Supporting whaiora to make positive life choices, and break the cycle of re-offending, is a key part of reintegration.

The six pillars of reintegration that we support whaiora with are:

Housing

Supporting pathways to safe, stable, and sustainable housing by walking alongside whaiora, advocating for opportunities, and connecting with appropriate housing and accommodation supports.

Employment

Exploring work opportunities and pathways to employment

Education & Training

Accessing courses, training, and qualifications

Health & Wellbeing

Supporting physical, mental, spiritual, and cultural wellbeing

Life Skills

Budgeting, daily living and family responsibilities

Whānau & Community Connections

Strengthening positive relationships and support networks

Whānau are an important part of the journey.

Our team works in partnership with whaiora and their whānau to:

• Understand goals and aspirations

• Develop a personal support plan

• Connect with services and resources

• Navigate challenges and barriers

• Celebrate progress and achievements

We recognise the strengths, knowledge, and experiences that whānau bring and value working together to create positive outcomes.
