The objective of this group is to help Tangata Whai Ora and Whanau to feel like a valued member of society, that Tangata Whai Ora will not be judged and can exercise their Mana Motuhaketanga (self-determination) and explore what is important to them and to build confidence in navigating society. Learning to contribute effectively to relationships, understand the impact of behaviours on others and to develop empathy as this will be shown to them. Opportunities to integrate into a world of their choice

Whanau will be supported in their grief and loss, and applying healthy boundaries, it is recognised that Whanau support is not always available in communities, so having it available is important. Personal values will be explored including Mana, Aroha, and Manaakitanga

One to one support can be provided as required and there will also be a strong component of connecting Tangata Whai Ora with other services in and around Kaikohekohe to meet specific needs

Establishing an identity and to be proud of this will be a huge advantage when making decisions and we want everyone to know they are important, can be a valuable contributor to their life and the life of others.
