Post-programme re-integration

A primary goal of our programme is to prepare our participants for a successful transition into further education and/or employment. Pursuing further education and maintaining employment are universally recognised as important to keep rangatahi distant from the justice system.

Education and employment, develop skills, provide success and build self-worth.

Additionally, they extend and build a range of relationships and lead to individuals gaining access to vital resources – money and/or support.

To guide rangatahi toward their transition, we will work with them across the programme to:

Uncover their interests/passions
Identify their options
Understand the tasks and achievements required, for them to pursue their options
Then set specific plans and goals applicable to their circumstance

Individual planning with potential employers and/or education facilities, whānau, and external social agencies, will then be undertaken to ensure our rangatahi’s successful transition.

Activities and commitments

An open door

The frequency of our formal post-programme support may be daily or weekly during the initial transition out of the programme and will gradually reduce as rangatahi re-integrate into the community, however the 'door' at Te Kāhu Tiu will always be open for our alumni to reach out.

Realities

We will engage with each ‘graduate’ at least annually – to track their progress and provide support, and they will be invited back regularly to renew their ties, and share their stories/successes.

How you can support

“I probably needed love… to believe… to actually find who I was”.
