Our community youth service, Whetū Marewa, is provided across the Rotorua district. We focus on improving the mental wellbeing of young people by working with taiohi and their whānau to build confidence, resilience and wellbeing.
The personal touch, the friendship within a professional relationship. Getting to know each other means she knows me. She can't solve the problems of the world, however she does offer me moral support and this means a lot. We are from different backgrounds and different places. We share empathy.

I remember the first time I came here. It was fun, all of this was. If I could do this all over again I would and I wouldn’t change a thing. These are some brave youth here. Their future is in their hands..... and I know they will achieve their goals... the best team I have met. Thank you for being positive role models for us.
