Te Aukati Matahoki (Fortnightly Harm Reduction)

Te Aukati Matahoki is the Māori translation given for Relapse prevention. This fortnightly maintenance group is where whaiora have the opportunity to engage with other whaiora in the community who have been abstinent or are trying to reduce harm associated with AOD substance abuse and require additional support.

This is a Kaupapa Māori space that allows for a wide variety of content to be taught in an attempt to promote the journey of recovery and alternative strategies to cope. Whaiora are reminded that the goal is a healthy well-balanced lifestyle.

An exclusive program for wāhine to gain knowledge about leading a life free from harm and to recognise situations where family harm occurs. Together, we will learn in a supportive group environment, creating positive change.

Date: Tuesday Fortnightly

Time: 6:00 pm -7:30 pm

Venue: 161 Pages Road, Wainoni

RSVP Via the ticketing system or just turn up between the times advertised.
