Brendon Te Whana

Brendon is a child-centric social worker who has worked with children and youth during his 10-year career as a social worker. Brendon’s current role requires a unique skillset that is trauma capable, as Brendon walks beside children and their families on their journeys to wellness. 

Brendon is a fully registered social worker with a Bachelor of Social Work Degree. As a practitioner, Brendon is very experienced working with children.

Working with trauma-capable frameworks means that Brendon can build relationships and rapport with children who are experiencing current traumas, with sensitivity and aroha.

Children need their voices to be heard in a world where often they do not have any voice in situations and the decisions that directly impact their lives. 

Brendon is capable of making children feel safe and comfortable to express what they would like and help them to process difficult life experiences.
