Are you seriously concerned for your welfare or your loved-one's welfare, right now?
Kei te tino māharahara koe i tēnei wā mō tō oranga, te oranga rānei o te hunga tino tata ki a koe? 

​Taranaki Retreat is not a 'crisis service' - we are a non-clinical whānau-based time-out space, for our community to have somewhere to turn for recovery after trauma, or in finding hope and their next steps.
​Please, never hesitate to share your situation either with us - or with one of these helping services:

If it is an emergency, or you, or someone you know, is at risk, call 111.
Mēnā he ohotata, kei te noho mōrea koe, tētahi atu rānei, me waea atu ki 111.
