Presbyterian Support Central, Enliven and Family Works

Presbyterian Support Central (PSC) provides health and social services to people of all ages throughout the lower North Island. Our services are provided through two brands - Family Works and Enliven. FAMILY WORKS Family Works’ vision is for Aotearoa New Zealand to be the best place in the world to grow up. A place where all children are safe, families are strong and communities are connected. Our strength-based, evidence informed services focus on supporting children, young people, adults, parents, families and whānau to make positive changes in their lives. Services include social work and advocacy, counselling and therapy, parenting advice and education, mediation and dispute resolution, family violence safety support and group programmes. ENLIVEN Enliven provides aged-care services with a difference. We believe there are some things that make for healthier, happier living – regardless of your age or ability. That’s why, as well as providing high quality clinical care and purpose-built retirement facilities, we focus on supporting older Kiwis to maximise their independence and have choice and control, companionship, fun, meaning and purpose in their lives. Enliven operates rest homes, including long-term rest home, hospital and dementia care and retirement villages. OUR ORGANISATION Made up of seven regional organisations, Presbyterian Support is one of New Zealand’s largest and wide-reaching health and social service organisations. Presbyterian Support Central was formed in 1909 by Rev. Dr. James Gibb who initiated a project to care for orphaned and destitute children in Wellington. Incorporated under the Charitable Trusts Act 1957, we are a registered charity. Throughout the lower North Island we have 26 sites in New Plymouth, Waitara, Hawera, Stratford, Whanganui, Palmerston North, Feilding, Levin, Masterton, Featherston, Porirua, Upper Hutt and across Wellington.
