A Team focused on meeting the needs of people, establishing and maintaining positive relationships where there is no silence or shame, and embraces the mana of all people.
Healing through
Te Ao Māori
Cultural practices, activities and programmes will bring diverse ideas together that link the past with the future. We will work together to undo the impacts of historical trauma to empower people.
Holistic
Wellbeing
A comprehensive health approach with clinical and cultural practitioners and support will enhance the "whole person and their whānau " focusing on the balance across mental, physical, emotional, social and spiritual domains for wellbeing.
Whānau-Centred Approach
Wellbeing is collective and interdependent, involving whānau first and in the recovery process requires immediate support and practical interventions to address methamphetamine use.
