Nau mai haere mai, welcome.

We are here to support people when times are tough: rebuilding the village. Our approach is peer-led – in other words, humans helping humans.

Mā tōu rourou, mā taku rourou ka ora te iwi.

Thank you for your visit – it is so good to see you.

Our work includes building and enabling connections with a network of other helping services; whakawhanaungatanga. We consider wellbeing holistically – the whole person, and their whole situation; their whare tapa whā. Sometimes our needs are to do with our overall health; or what has happened to us in the past / what we’re living through now; or our life circumstances. Often, it’s a combination of all the above!

Are you concerned for someone? Or are you that someone? Would some support with your wellbeing be helpful?
Ka pai – you’ve come to the right place.
