Wellington

Atareira is that special time when nightfall ends & just before dawn breaks. Atareira leads in modelling and promoting mental health recovery through partnership services with tangata whenua, families, consumers and their communities. We have well-developed relationships and understanding of services that enables us to advocate for families and support them as they support their loved ones.

We have a long history of 34 years providing support, information and education to family members, community groups and mental health services. In 2012/2013 we supported over 800 family members.

More about us

Families & whānau are there during both the good and difficult times. We are there to support them.

Family & whānau need access to services that support and enhance their well-being. Our service can recognise and build on the resilience of the family/whānau, understand and affirm their experience of supporting someone with a mental illness of addiction, and provide information, advocacy, and support.

Mystery Donor! 24 March 2014

We are very grateful to our first donor for their generosity! Having made an initial donation, this wonderful person has asked that we provide them details so they can make small, regular donations. We would love to do this, but don't have an address to contact with that information! If this was you, please contact us at this address: enquires@atareira.org.nz we will get right back to you with the details.
