Description

Community Support Services include Iwi Support Services. These services provide community based cultural assessment, support and consultation within a kaupapa Māori framework for pakeke/kaumātua/tangata whai ora who have been diagnosed with mental illness. The service helps tamariki, rangatahi and whānau to determine their support needs and to provide people with the services and resources they require for wellness.

Te Rangihaeata - Iwi Support Work Team provides dedicated Iwi support workers, who work in partnership with those suffering from mild to moderate mental illness. Together we work in partnership to achieve individual goals, providing support, information and linkage into support groups to assist with placement into courses to meet specific client needs.

We are happy to meet you in your home or wherever you feel most comfortable.

Te Rangihaeata operates in the wider Auckland South Area, inclusive of Pakuranga to Port Waikato.
