Description
Māreikura
Māreikura is a kaupapa Māori group designed to empower and support wahine (women) on their journey toward better mental and emotional well-being. Rooted in Māori values, Māreikura provides a safe space where women can come together to share experiences, build resilience, and connect with one another in a supportive, whānau-like environment. The Māreikura service is driven by the wahine themselves and supported by Kaimahi, who guide the process with care and respect.
The Māreikura service fosters whanaungatanga (relationships), manaakitanga (care), and aroha (love), supporting women in thriving holistically—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. It is a space where wahine can walk in their mana (power), strengthen their connections, and move forward with confidence and clarity.
Band of Brothers
The Band of Brothers Walk-In Group is a kaupapa Māori space where men can come together in a supportive, whakawhanaungatanga (relationship-building) environment to strengthen their mental health and well-being. Held once a fortnight, this group offers a safe, non-judgmental space for men to connect, share their whakaaro (thoughts) and engage in kōrero (discussions) that foster healing and resilience. The group encourages whānau-like support, with participants sharing personal experiences and learning from one another, all while strengthening their connection to Te Ao Māori. Through this collective, men are empowered to nurture their mental health, build aroha (love) for themselves and each other, and cultivate mana (strength and dignity). The Band of Brothers group provides a valuable opportunity for men to walk together, supporting one another as they journey towards wholeness and balance.
