Presbyterian Support Otago

Presbyterian Support Otago (PSO) provides health and social services to people of all ages throughout the Otago region. Our services are provided through two brands - Family Works and Enliven. FAMILY WORKS Family Works’ vision is for Aotearoa New Zealand to be the best place in the world to grow up. A place where all children are safe, families are strong and communities are connected. Our strength-based, evidence informed services focus on supporting children, young people, adults, parents, families and whānau to make positive changes in their lives. Services include social work and advocacy, parenting advice and education, mediation and dispute resolution, family violence safety support and group programmes. ENLIVEN Enliven provides aged-care services with a difference. We believe there are some things that make for healthier, happier living – regardless of your age or ability. That’s why, as well as providing high quality clinical care and purpose-built retirement facilities, we focus on supporting older Kiwis to maximise their independence and have choice and control, companionship, fun, meaning and purpose in their lives. Enliven operates rest homes, including long-term rest home, hospital and dementia care and retirement villages. OUR ORGANISATION Made up of seven regional organisations, Presbyterian Support is one of New Zealand’s largest and wide-reaching health and social service organisations. Presbyterian Support Otago was formed in 1906 by Rev. Andrew Cameron who initiated a project to provide social work in the Otago area. Incorporated under the Charitable Trusts Act 1957, we are a registered charity. Throughout the Otago region including South, North and Central Otago we have 22 sites including Wanaka, Alexandra, Balclutha, Oamaru and across the Dunedin city.
