Tauranga is our base in the Bay of Plenty, offering respite care services for taiohi and tāngata whai ora. These are home-like spaces for our tāngata whai ora and taiohi to rest and focus on their wellbeing in a caring supportive whare.
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.

[The best thing was] the effective and regular communication from our sister's support worker, and the weekly updates were very helpful.

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.
