Activities & Workshops
We provide a range of day activities and programmes designed to build on people's strengths and interests in order to promote wellbeing and community engagement. Each quarter our Programmes Team designs a programme of activities based on what Turning Point members have indicated they want. The activities retain a core philosophy of creating opportunities for people to explore aspects of recovery in a supportive setting. The programme can include external community activities and input from a range of specialist facilitators and speakers.

All art work created at Turning Point Te Taiope Huringanui can be displayed in our te whare toi gallery and on our website page.
