What the programme is about

• A professional health care programme with a tikanga Māori approach which delivers an extensive wellness programme and marae based wānanga to male youth who have alcohol and other drug dependencies or related problems.
• We aim to encourage and raise awareness with a dual focus on tikanga Māori values and kaupapa Māori wellness activities.
• We provide holistic health promotion and therapeutic assessment and interventions for individuals incorporating a whānau approach.

A look into the programme

• We are a mobile service, which means our whānau workers will come to visit you at your home and provide transport to wānanga.
• Our service is delivered as a 10 weekend marae based wānanga which are drug and alcohol free. Participants are encouraged to maintain the tikanga of the programme wherever they may be.
