Arataki Ministries provides a range of services to people who experience some form of mental distress and perhaps an addiction and ‘people’ can be defined as the person receiving the service, their whānau, significant others, other community services and the community.
Arataki Ministries is a faith-based organisation, and most of the staff have a Christian faith. Arataki respect and value all people from different cultures and backgrounds, and those people guide us to meet their needs both culturally and spiritually. We acknowledge the Treaty of Waitangi / Te Tiriti of Waitangi as not only a historical document, but also a living one that guides the relationship between Māori and other peoples in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
The people at Arataki Ministries are committed to each other, committed to the work they do, and are committed to the people we serve.
