A huge thank you to the Oxford Trust for their generous grant funding! Because of their incredible support, we can continue offering vital, accessible counselling services to individuals and families across our local community. Mental health support should never be out of reach, and this grant ensures that those navigating tough times have a safe, confidential space to find guidance and healing.

We are deeply grateful to the Oxford Trust for investing in our mission and caring so strongly about the well-being of our neighbours. Together, we are building a healthier, more resilient community—one conversation at a time. 💙

Farewell to our wahine toa, Janet, who is moving on to her next chapter! Janet has been such a cherished part of our team, bringing warmth, kindness, and light to everything she did.

While we are going to miss her gentle presence and incredible heart daily, we are so grateful for the time, energy, and care she poured into our workplace. Thank you for everything, Janet—we wish you endless happiness, blessings, and success on your journey ahead! AROHATINONUI🌿✨
