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.
Feeling so safe that I was able to concentrate on something for 3 hours. I hadn't felt that safe in a long time to be able to concentrate like that.

I remember the first time I came here. It was fun, all of this was. If I could do this all over again I would and I wouldn’t change a thing. These are some brave youth here. Their future is in their hands..... and I know they will achieve their goals... the best team I have met. Thank you for being positive role models for us.

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.
