Helping people in Taranaki rebuild their lives after prison - together.
At PARS Taranaki, we walk alongside people as they return home from prison, providing the support, tools, and encouragement they need to start fresh.
What We Do
We help people move from surviving to thriving. Our support starts before release and continues as people take steps to rebuild their lives, whether it’s finding housing, reconnecting with whānau, or building confidence for employment - we’re here for the journey.
We are PARS Taranaki
We’re a small, local team with a big heart. Our work is grounded in trust, dignity and hope. We don’t just offer services - we build relationships that last.
Because we’re local, we know the real challenges people face in Taranaki: housing shortages, stigma, isolation. That’s why our support is practical, flexible, and focused on what matters most - belonging.
