Te Poutama Arahi Rangitahi

Te Poutama Ārahi Rangatahi is a specialist residential treatment facility located in Christchurch, contracted to Barnardos by Child, Youth and Family, and the Ministry of Education. The facility was built in 1999 to provide residential treatment and schooling for boys aged 12-17 years who have engaged in harmful sexual behaviour.  Treatment is provided until they are deemed ready and able to reintegrate back into the community safely. This can be anywhere from nine months to two years.
