Abstract
The Breaking Ground programme was an 18-month pilot programme to support families and parents in a mana-enhancing process while developing parenting skills and practices, focused on intensive family intervention. Practitioners worked alongside families who were on a trajectory towards having their children placed in state care, with the goal of preventing entry to such care. This research uses a case-study methodology with data collected through interviews with social workers and families involved in the programme.
The aims of this research were:
1) to examine the effectiveness of social workers working with families on the Breaking Ground programme; and
2) to examine the effectiveness of social workers providing cultural support for the families on the programme.
This paper is published in association with Manukau Institute of Technology.
