Tauranga is our base in the Bay of Plenty, offering respite care services for taiohi and tāngata whai ora. These are home-like spaces for our tāngata whai ora and taiohi to rest and focus on their wellbeing in a caring supportive whare.
[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.

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.
