Empower Tamariki is a values-based programme of parent courses and teaching resources for delivery in primary schools, designed to help children build essential life skills in five key areas: Bully Awareness and Prevention, Good Manners and Positive Behaviour, Emotional Regulation, Character and Leadership, and Stranger Danger Safety.

These programmes support tamariki to grow in confidence, empathy, and resilience. Each Primary School Programme is supported by a matching short course for parents, offering practical tools to reinforce learning at home, along with a range of easy-to-use resources for both schools and families.
