Programmes
Our adult residence offers a long-term (9-14 month) programme for people experiencing issues with drug or alcohol use. The programme is based on the Therapeutic Community model, or TC. TC is a supportive peer environment where members of the community gain skills to make the changes they need to live the lives they want. In a TC, the community itself is a vital part of your journey. Learning occurs in the way you live and work together as residents and staff, and in the roles and responsibilities you have in the house.

Stand Up! is a youth development programme for rangatahi whose lives are influenced by alcohol and other drugs. We work collaboratively with young people, and their schools or education providers. We offer counselling support to rangatahi accessing our services, and we support them to determine how involved they want to be in our programme and what they want to get out of it. Together we evaluate their progress, areas of strength, and future areas for development. Participating in the Stand Up! programme provides rangatahi with opportunities to explore and discuss a range of topics beyond alcohol and other drugs, such as their academic performance, future aspirations, or whānau relationships. They also get opportunities to develop other life or social skills. Stand Up! is a lively and diverse team of trained AOD (alcohol and other drug) practitioners. We come from a range of cultural, life and educational backgrounds, and this allows us to offer different approaches and styles to our rangatahi and their schools.

Referral Process
Any student enrolled in a secondary education provider, who is seeking support for themselves or wanting to refer others to Stand Up!, may enquire about the programme at their school’s health centre.
Health centre staff will be able to advise whether Stand Up! is available and which day of the week practitioners visit. Anyone can make a referral, including the principal, deans, nurses, teachers and peers.
Because we work closely with and as part of each school’s Student Health Centre, no parental consent is required.
To self-refer or refer someone else, please provide your full name and some background detail around the reason for referral. One of our practitioners will then contact the student and arrange an initial catch up to get a full story of their life and background.

Te Puawai Aroha Adapted from an Australian programme for children of parents with mental illness (COPMI), our programme was blessed with the name Te Puawai Aroha, which means “blossoming love”. Our programme aims to: Build resilience Improve whanaungatanga/connections between family members Explore ways to cope with challenges Learn more about how mental illnesses and/or addiction affect the whānau. Everyone is encouraged to talk and learn more about emotions, as a way of learning about how people may have challenges with mental health and addictions. Children (9:00am-3:00pm), teenagers, and parents/caregivers (1:00-3:00pm) meet separately on days 1 to 3 – then everyone comes together on the last day to have some fun together. A nanny is available to look after children under the age of 8, so that parents or caregivers can attend the afternoon groups. Te Puawai Aroha is free to attend. We provide morning tea and lunch, and cover transport costs. Teenagers and caregivers are welcome to join the children’s group for lunch each day before the afternoon session. Once a term we offer a follow-up group so whānau who have recently attended the programme can reconnect with other whānau, share changes since the last programme and spend quality time together. We will connect you with a keyworker or GP, if your whānau needs ongoing support. We also inform your referrer about the themes covered during the programme, any suggestions or referrals that we spoke about together, or about any concerns that we may have about care and protection issues. Te Puawai Aroha runs each week of term one, two and three school holidays. Whānau can choose to attend week 1 or week 2. The programme is always held within Counties Manukau. The location changes each time so that families across the region get the opportunity to attend. Be SMART* support groups In Auckland and Whangārei we offer free, weekly Be SMART support groups for people whose lives are impacted by the addictive behaviours of someone close to them. These small groups offer friends and whānau a supportive environment to share their experiences and learn useful tools and techniques such as self-care, safety and support, assertive communication and problem-solving. Our trained facilitators will help you understand more about addictive behaviours and can also provide guidance on coping with lapses. No referral is needed to join our SMART groups. Visit our website for details on SMART group times at our different locations. *SMART = Self-Management And Recovery Training

The Te Wairua programme is based on a treatment approach called a therapeutic community or TC. A TC is a supportive peer environment, where members of the community gain skills to make the changes they need to live the lives they want. Everyone who lives or works in our therapeutic community (TC) lives by a set of shared values, known as our pillars. These are Trust, Honesty, Responsibility, Concern and Love. As you work through our programme, you will learn how these pillars can support you in your recovery. In a TC, the community itself is a vital part of your treatment. Learning occurs in the way everyone lives and works together as residents and staff, and in the roles and responsibilities shared across the community. It’s all about helping you gain skills to be more in control of your life, free from drug, alcohol or other addiction challenges. We want you to experience the benefits of living a life that follows a routine. During the week, each house follows a timetable of scheduled jobs, activities and group sessions, as well as time for recreation or relaxation. You will be able to participate in a range of creative, social, cultural and outdoor activities. Your week may include activities such as kapa haka or other tikanga Māori study and practice. Or you might participate in one of our work training programmes. Saturdays and Sundays are a little more relaxed with time for visits from family and friends, as well as down time to reflect on your week. We encourage family members to be actively involved before, during and after your stay with us. There are opportunities for shared meals, weekend visits, and a forum for family and whānau members to provide feedback and suggestions. Find out more about Odyssey and our kaupapa or approach.

Children are at the heart of our Family Centre community. Their needs always come first and our daily routines follow the rhythms of their day. Each day starts early with parents getting their children ready for school or kindergarten, before having breakfast together as a community. Parents participate in our adult residential programme during the day and also have the opportunity to attend parenting support groups. Afternoons are busy with shared afternoon tea following the school pick-up and more opportunities for bonding time with your children and other families. Afternoon activities may include playground and TV time, arts and crafts, music or movement. Everyone comes together again for dinner, and bedtime routines offer more quality time with your children to end the day. Our Family Centre is a modified therapeutic community or TC. Parents living with us participate in the adult residential programme at our neighbouring residence and have similar opportunities to develop skills and strategies that will support their recovery when they leave Odyssey.

Description
Children are at the heart of our Family Centre community. Their needs always come first and our daily routines follow the rhythms of their day. Each day starts early with parents getting their children ready for school or kindergarten, before having breakfast together as a community. Parents participate in our adult residential programme during the day and also have the opportunity to attend parenting support groups.
Afternoons are busy with shared afternoon tea following the school pick-up and more opportunities for bonding time with your children and other families. Afternoon activities may include playground and TV time, arts and crafts, music or movement. Everyone comes together again for dinner, and bedtime routines offer more quality time with your children to end the day.
Our Family Centre is a modified therapeutic community or TC. Parents living with us participate in the adult residential programme at our neighbouring residence and have similar opportunities to develop skills and strategies that will support their recovery when they leave Odyssey.
