Open Home Foundation

Nestled in the heart of the Bay of Plenty, Open Home Foundation is a beacon of hope and compassion, dedicated to making a meaningful impact on individuals, families, and communities who are navigating life's challenges. Established with a mission to provide exceptional welfare support services, we have been a trusted partner for over three decades, offering a wide array of programs tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients. At Open Home Foundation, we firmly believe that everyone deserves a safe and nurturing environment to grow, learn, and thrive. Our Foster Care Services provide temporary or long-term homes for children who cannot live with their families due to various circumstances. We carefully select and train our foster carers, ensuring they become an extended family for the children in their care. We understand that every person's journey is unique, and so we offer a range of Counselling services to help individuals process their feelings, overcome challenges, and build resilience. Whether it's dealing with grief, managing mental health issues, or navigating life transitions, our team of skilled counsellors are here to support you every step of the way. For those living with special needs or disabilities, we strive to create an inclusive society where everyone feels valued and supported. Our Special Needs and Disability Services offer tailored programs that focus on personal growth, independence, and social integration, ensuring each individual can reach their full potential. Guiding and empowering young people is also a core part of our mission. Through our Youth Services, we provide mentorship, education, and recreational opportunities to help shape the leaders of tomorrow. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to ensure every young person has the tools and support they need to flourish. Family Mentoring is another essential service at Open Home Foundation, providing a supportive network for families facing complex challenges. By offering guidance, practical assistance, and emotional support, we help families build stronger relationships and navigate through difficult times. Lastly, in our Supervised Access Services, we strive to facilitate safe and positive interactions between children and their parents or caregivers. Our professional team ensures that every visit is conducted in a secure, comfortable environment, promoting healing and strengthening familial bonds where possible. In the Bay of Plenty, Open Home Foundation stands as a symbol of hope, resilience, and growth. We are more than just an organization; we are a family committed to helping others create their own stories of triumph and transformation. If you or someone you know is in need of support, please don't hesitate to reach out. Together, we can make a difference.
