Whānau Wairua
🕐 13:00 · He Waka Tapu - Ōtautahi (Christchurch)

Maanaki Rōpū (Support Groups...)

One of the key kaupapa we explore is co-dependency. Our aim is to create awareness around patterns of reliance—both on others and on substances—so that whaiora can navigate their journey with greater autonomy.
