Taranaki Retreat is a suicide prevention initiative that provides a free no-strings attached 'Space to Breathe' for people going through tough times – people helping people; alongside-you holistic peer-support, connected up and working hand-in-hand with our clinical services – each of us doing our bit to make sure that you are heard and cared for.
We offer a Support Hub (Waimanako), an Outreach Support Hub (Waihāpai), a food truck (Waimanaaki), and a peaceful Time Out space in the country. Waimanako is a “safe space” in New Plymouth (35 Octavius Place) with awesome kai and coffee, and many workshops and support groups. We’re open Monday to Friday (check out our website for our hours), and we’re On Pause on Weekends and Public Holidays. Listening Ear support is always available – you don’t need an appointment!
