Real

Our services focus on mental wellbeing and helping young people to feel connected in their everyday.

We support taiohi, aged 12-24 years, to thrive, building resiliency and strong connections with whānau, friends and their communities.

Our youth services

Real, our provider of youth services, has a range of services to meet the needs of taiohi and their whānau. These services have been developed with and for taiohi, to reflect what matters to them.

We’re continuing to expand our services across the motu to meet the ongoing needs of taiohi in our communities.

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.
