How our financial mentors help

Our financial mentors will work alongside you, your family and whānau, building trust and taking into account the complexity of your specific needs.

Financial mentors have a non-judgemental approach and sound financial knowledge. They will support you to make connections with local networks and social services to ensure you get the right support at the right time (these can include Work and Income, support services for mental health, addictions, housing, etc).

This could mean the financial mentor:

  • supports and empowers you to navigate the system to control debt by negotiating reduced payments or generating additional resources
  • advocates on your behalf to negotiate with creditors or other lenders.
