CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES

Catholic Social Services (CSS) is an agency of the

Catholic Diocese of Christchurch delivering social services in Ōtautahi, Christchurch

Catholic Social Services provides much needed support to struggling whānau and individuals across all ages.

 

We provide counselling for adults, rangatahi, tamariki, whānau, and couples - all the while reflecting the Gospel and the social teachings of the Catholic Church.

 

We also administer group courses for adults and tamariki covering topics such as:​

  • grief and loss

  • conflict resolution

  • emotional awareness

  • anxiety

  • trauma to name a few.

  • Our tamariki and whanau psychology service works with our greater Christchurch diocesan schools meeting the needs of the tamariki and rangatahi.

Catholic Social Service provides a caring safe environment, respectful and non-judgemental treatment, while displaying cultural awareness and complete confidentiality.
