Description

Te Whare Oranga Ngakau is a Kaupapa Māori alcohol and drug residential service.

Over a 12 week programme, whānau are supported through exploration of whakapapa, tikanga and purakau to better develop the necessary skillsets to live a life free of alcohol & other substance related harm.  Group work and individual interventions are part of the programme.
