A Safe Place for Tamariki & Rangatahi to Talk

Tamariki and whānau are safe, recover from past trauma, reconnect with each other and create a positive future.

Mana Ake provides support to children in Canterbury, in years 1-8 at school, promoting wellbeing and positive mental health.
We can support children at school and at home and provide advice, guidance and workshops for parents, whānau and teachers.

Tamariki are nurtured, strong and resilient. Whānau are self-managing and empowered.
