Jade Speaks Up Educational Trust
We help create safer communities for children by equipping adults with tools to support children’s wellbeing and safety.

Every child deserves to be surrounded by adults who know how to respond when things are hard.
When children are overwhelmed, distressed or living with harm, the adults around them can make a life-changing difference. But many adults — including teachers, social workers, coaches, youth workers and others — do not always feel confident knowing what to say or how to help.
The Jade Speaks Up Educational Trust equips adults with practical tools, knowledge and confidence to support children’s emotional wellbeing and safety. Our programmes help adults build safe relationships, respond well to big emotions and recognise when a child may need help.
We are a small charity with a big vision: safer communities for children across Aotearoa.
Every donation helps us keep this mahi going and reach more of the adults children already know and trust.
More about us
The Jade Speaks Up Educational Trust is a New Zealand charity working to help create safer communities for children.
We strengthen the adults around children — including teachers, social workers, coaches, youth workers and other child-centred professionals — by equipping them with the tools, confidence and knowledge to support children’s emotional wellbeing and safety.
Our programmes draw on emotional literacy, neuroscience, embodied learning and Te Ao Māori perspectives to help adults build safe relationships, respond well to distress and recognise when a child may need help.
Your support helps us reach more adults around children and strengthen the everyday places where children live, learn, play and seek support.
