Te manawa whanaungatanga mō ngā tamariki katoa
The heart of relationship for every child
Our vision
What we aim to do:
We are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of tamariki through the delivery of high-quality training in CCPT, provision of therapy for children, and ‘supporting the supporters’.
CPW exists to provide New Zealand children with trained therapists who operate at a level of international expertise in CCPT. The potential impact of CPW’s work is significant. A quarter of NZ’s population is under the age of 18. The NZ Government has stated that the safety and wellbeing of all NZ children is a key priority, and CPW is in a unique position to support this through the professional training programmes and supervision support we provide.
CPW’s work impacts directly on the lives of vulnerable tamariki and rangitahi in NZ, by ensuring that professionals supporting tamariki in multiple work areas are trained to operate as specialists in child-centered practice.
The professionals who come to CPW are comprehensively trained and then supervised in the workplace to safely and effectively support tamariki to heal, grow and flourish.
A single trainee from CPW will work alongside a number of tamariki every year, and we are very aware that the ‘downstream’ impact of even small numbers of our trainees is significant.
We maintain a database of all therapists who have completed CPW training, and we are frequently contacted by Government and community organisations enquiring about access to CCPT services and practitioners in their area.
