Our community youth service, Whetū Marewa, is provided across the Rotorua district. We focus on improving the mental wellbeing of young people by working with taiohi and their whānau to build confidence, resilience and wellbeing.
I am in such a better place in my life because of this service. I am so grateful.

[The support I received] meant I had access to someone in the community whose job was to check in with me, meet me where I was at, and treat me with empathy. This was something that I desperately needed.

The availability of staff [was the best thing] and I loved how my support worker could relate, understand and help me through the challenges or concerns I had at the time.
