About
alexianu family foundation
"We strongly believe that nurturing resilience - the ability to cope with challenges and bounce back - is the key." Yet, many children aren’t taught coping skills, emotional understanding, or how to believe in themselves.​​
Founded as a charitable organization committed to the well-being of children and adolescents, the Alexianu Family Foundation implements The Confident Mind™ coaching programmes in schools across New Zealand.
​
"Promoting children's emotional well-being means focusing on prevention, not just intervention—and as doctors, this is central to our approach."

"As a mother, daughter, and paediatric anaesthetist my life has always centered on caring for children. Through our family foundation, that care extends—to every child we reach.
Our work is grounded in a legacy of compassion and the belief that children deserve not only education, but also —confidence, resilience and emotional support."
Dr. Daniela Alexianu —
AFF Board Chairperson
"Alongside with my wife and my children—the Board of Our Family Foundation, I am proud and honoured to uphold a family legacy passed down through generations: to help and support others and empower the next generations.
​
Today, as digital technology and social media profoundly influence young lives, our focus is clear: to build a strong mindset and resilience and equip children with coping skills—needed to navigate life challenges."

AFF Board Vice-Chair
AFF Ambassador
"I choose to be an Ambassador for The Confident Mind™ programme, after seeing far too many children overwhelmed by anxiety, caught in constant social media comparison, and weighed down by the pressure to be “perfect.”
​
Every child deserves to grow up confident in their own abilities, not restrained by them. This foundation supports exactly that – the tools they need to discover their inner strength and the courage to be themselves in a world that constantly pushes them to be someone else.
​
This is what it truly means to invest in the future: teaching children to find out who they are, and have the confidence to become who they aspire to be."
​
Together, we are shaping stronger generations!​​​
