Worried Taranaki Retreat might not be ‘for you’? Read on…
Sometimes our work is to find out a better or more suitable resource than the Retreat – according to people’s circumstance (but never because of ‘who they are’). Some people we support through our Outreach Programme – and for others, a stay may be the right call. Still others, we support through phone/email or journaling contact. We acknowledge the limitations that a non-clinical/Whānau-based communal living setting has, and that there are some situations where we may not be the right support. If that’s the case, we’ll do our best to work with you to find the next step.
It can be incredibly daunting to ask for help, especially if you fear being rejected for who you are.
He tino uaua pea te tono āwhina, otirā mēnā e mataku ana koe kei parea mai koe nā te mea ko koe.
That is why it is imperative that you know Taranaki Retreat is a diverse, open-minded, accepting community, and will help anyone that we can, regardless of race, sexuality, gender identity, class, culture, or religion.
