About Loving

We provide current, researched-based material delivered by accredited facilitators who take part in ongoing professional development.
Material of a scientific or medical nature is reviewed by our Medical Advisory Board, and all programmes are bicultural and meet NZ curriculum standards.
We provide facilitated programmes, eCourses, Professional Development, NCEA Assessments and other resources to support parents, educators and schools. All material is designed to meet students appropriately at their different age levels.
