Wellbeing resources

Alongside our services, we have resources to help support whānau, tāngata whai ora and taiohi on their journey to positive mental health and wellbeing.

Recipes to support your wellbeing

We believe nutrition and what you eat plays a key part in being both physically and mentally well. Check out our ‘Wholesome Cookbook’ for nutritious easy to make meals that help to support your wellbeing. It’s also been developed to work with your budget.

To support tāngata whai ora and taiohi with gut health problems we’ve included a range of dairy and gluten free recipes. There’s also plant based recipes that you can add poultry or other meats to if you wish.

It’s free! Read below or click the button to download.

Who are you grateful for? Let them know!

He oranga ngākau, he hikinga wairua. When it touches your heart, it lifts your spirit.

We’ve developed a range of ‘gratitude cards’ you can send to your whānau, friends, tāngata whai ora or taiohi in your lives, or maybe a kaimahi you’ve been working with. These cards show that you appreciate their mahi and support. It’s a great way to be whakahonohono.

You can download the digital card you’d like to send by clicking on the image below, then click on the download arrow. Then just forward it on to the person you want to show your appreciation to.
