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.
We do this through our various support and therapy activities. We work with individuals and groups, often in the outdoors to take advantage of our beautiful region and the opportunities it holds.
Our kaimahi support taiohi to help them feel positive about themselves and their futures.
We work closely in partnership with Te Whatu Ora, youth related community organisations and you can also contact us directly, without a referral.
We have a mix of clinical, youth and peer workers
All of our services aim to include whānau
Real supports young people, aged 12-24
