About us

​

New Wave Engage are dedicated to providing intense support to vulnerable males in Out-of-Home foster care (OOHC).

 

Powered by decorated James Te Huna, delivering trauma-informed care, backed with a Diploma in Communities and Services, the former UFC star and NRL Coaching Specialist offers a level of support that's a cut above the rest. Dedicated to delivering professional, compassionate support. Our commitment? To ensure every support person is highly trained and equipped to provide the quality care that vulnerable youth deserve—far exceeding the standards of many under-trained services.

​

The mission is simple: to support and male youth (ages 12-17) by providing intense emotional, social, and educational support. We focus on building trust through empathy, compassion, and honesty, ensuring each interaction fosters growth and lasting change.

​

We address critical challenges young males face, such as:

- Emotional regulation

- Improving self esteem & confidence

- Combating isolation
- Encouraging physical activity
- Building strong relationships with family and community
- Helping them set and achieve personal goals

 

We​ believe that with the correct support, young males can overcome adversity through challenging times and thrive.
