This happens through the facilitation of positive change in family systems. This programme is an adaptation of the original Functional Family Therapy (FFT) model, which is designed and owned by FFT-LLC, but has been adapted in order to be culturally appropriate for the Aotearoa context. Pae Whakatupuranga I FFT-CG aims to weave together three distinct approaches: the original FFT model; Whaitake Whakaoranga Whānau (WWW), whose purpose is to ensure that whānau experience therapy that is respectful of and consistent with Māori values, processes, and culture; and Uputāua Pan-Pacific Cultural Framework (Uputāua), a Pasefika framework that recognises many of the cultural and spiritual protocols that are central to Pacific communities, in a model designed to increase cultural understanding and skills for family therapists working with aiga. Pae Whakatupuranga I FFT-CG is funded by Oranga Tamariki under its Reducing Youth Offending programme of work. The service involves two other agency partners – the Department of Corrections (Corrections) and New Zealand Police (Police). Youth Horizons (YH), a contracted third-party provider of the Pae Whakatupuranga I FFT-CG service, has been implementing the pilot in Auckland since July 2019. The Family Centre Social Policy Research Unit (FCSPRU) is undertaking a multi-year evaluation of Pae Whakatupuranga I FFT-CG (July 2019 to June 2022). This evaluation has three overall high-level objectives: To assess how well Pae Whakatupuranga I FFT-CG is being implemented, including its cultural appropriateness in the Aotearoa/New Zealand context, and identify any areas for improvement; To understand the service’s early effect on the wellbeing of young people and their whānau; To identify key requirements for implementing the service well in other locations (if it is deemed effective). The Wave 1 evaluation (#6634). was largely a baseline report about the first six months of the programme’s operation. It focused on the first evaluation objective and is an early part of the formative evaluation that is taking place from July 2019 to December 2020. (The formative evaluation will be followed by an impact evaluation.) In this Wave 2 formative evaluation the primary question is How well does Pae Whakatupuranga I FFT-CG fit in with the cultural worldviews of Te Ao Māori and Tafa o le Pasefika?
