Referral Process

People can be referred by any other agency or themselves; a specific diagnosis is not required. Just get in touch and share your situation and then fill in our Inquiry Form.

From there, we will work together to determine whether the Retreat is the right “fit” or otherwise support you in finding pathways forward. 

We work with the entire whānau group. Young people, under 16 years, will need to have a Support person (usually a whānau member) present. From age 16, young people can take part in our programme independently.

Description

Taranaki Retreat also provide non-residential care for people who are at risk, through a community outreach programme based at Waimanako. 

Those in the community can visit Waimanako and are supported with a listening ear, or find a support worker or simply attend some of our regular workshops.
