Our History
Established by Maxine Hodgson in 1978, Parentline originated as a telephone service providing parenting advice with just five volunteers.
Since then, it has evolved to offer a range of services including individual and group counselling, therapy, and social work support for children aged 0 to 13 who have experienced trauma from abuse or domestic violence. Parenting programs and family therapy sessions are also available to whanau units.
Our dedicated caseworkers, who are trained and qualified as counsellors or social workers, engage directly with our clients, providing compassionate support and guidance.
Parentline is governed by a Board of Trustees setting its vision, with the CEO and Senior Management Team ensuring alignment with the board’s strategic direction.
