We are a registered charitable trust who have been operating in the Auckland area and beyond since 2007.
We have a specialist role in working with those who have repeat drink (or drug) driving convictions (or charges) and associated alcohol and drug problems, but we do have skills to work across a range of counselling and therapy needs (anger management, depression, relationships and family therapy). Our specialist area is group therapy but we are happy to work with individuals, couples, families as a whole. We have also developed some specialist youth programmes.
Our staff are experienced counsellors and we have a strong pasifika feel with Tongan language programmes offered.
People may contact us themselves, or be referred by the court, their lawyer, probation officer, the NZTA, or a range of other services.
We aim to offer timely therapeutic interventions to assist in strengthening the integrity, harmony and unity of the community. By working with groups, families, and individuals we aim to create and promote opportunities for change in order to develop greater safety and well-being in the community.
