NEUFELD AOTEAROA CONFERENCE 2025
Navigating Mental Health and Behaviour Challenges:
Insight and Hope for Tamariki and Rangatahi
Wednesday June 4, 2025 – Christchurch
Friday June 6, 2025 – Auckland
* Livestream options available *
When our tamariki (children) and rangatahi (youth) struggle with mental health challenges, traditional approaches often miss a crucial truth: healing and growth are rooted in our fundamental human need for secure attachment.
Keynote speakers include Dr. Gordon Neufeld, who will join via Zoom, and Dr. Deborah MacNamara, who will be at the conference in-person. The Neufeld Aotearoa team will also present various seminars.
This conference is relevant for parents, caregivers, teachers, counsellors, social workers, mental health clinicians – basically anyone who knows a child and would like to hold and offer hope. We believe you can make a difference.
Livestream tickets are available for June 6th and are a fundraiser for the Neufeld Institute, with proceeds donated directly to the Institute by Neufeld Aotearoa. Thank you for your support!
