Description

Day Activity Centres are a place where people can be helped to expand or regain their confidence and life skills. Day Activity Centres are activity-based rehabilitation services and we encourage everyone to be involved in the running of the Centre and planning of the activities. We aim to support people's strengths, their families, whānau and significant others and endeavour to provide skills activities in the programme for Māori and Pacific Peoples. Day Activity Centres are supportive environments with the emphasis on recovery.
