That is why we are committed to breaking down barriers to care so that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, feels supported, valued, and truly heard. Community support is fundamental to creating spaces that foster connection, belonging, and resilience. When we collaborate with whānau, local groups, and community services, we don’t just provide care, we co-create pathways that foster healing and lasting empowerment.
