Tu Te Ihi has two strands to its service, the first being the counselling services available to anyone who may require it, and the second being health promotions. All of their services are FREE and are completely confidential.
Mere Elkington is the Problem Gambling counsellor and Hinemoa Metekingi is the health promotions coordinator. Together, they provide services to the Porirua and wider communities on an individual, one to one basis as well as working with groups to provide information, education, advocacy, counselling and support. Some of the other services they provide include advocacy for budgeting advice, physical exercise to develop and maintain healthier life styles, a monthly tribal wananga to educate rangatahi and their whanau on tikanga, whakapapa, waiata and karakia of Ngati Toa. These initiatives were developed in direct correlation with the health promotion objectives.
