Youth Horizons Trust Information

Established in 1997, Youth Horizons is a national charitable trust working to improve the lives of children and young people who are dealing with behavioural, emotional, mental health or development issues. We deliver programmes that have been shown to work, meet the needs of people from different backgrounds and focus on: therapy in the home, parenting support, bringing families back together, and foster care and group home placements. In addition, our West Auckland office, Youth Service West, supports young people through education, training or employment. Our services are underpinned by the philosophy that young people should be empowered to fully participate in family/whānau, community and other pro-social activities. Youth Horizons is committed to the continuous development of a bi-cultural approach to treatment and service delivery. Our values and kaupapa are integrated throughout our organisation with all services committed to professional practice that reflects our core values of aroha, whanaungatanga, wairuatanga and manaakitanga.
