A vibrant, inclusive community where people realise their potential.

Established in 1996, we are strongly committed to providing an environment where people living with an experience of

mental illness and/or addiction feel safe and supported, and can develop meaningful relationships and skills that will

We are open to supporting tangata whai ora who may be receiving care at Te Whare Maiangiangi (mental health inpatient unit); please come in to talk to Nicki so that we can support you and your wellbeing plan while you are at Te Taiope Huringanui.
