In this role, you will organize on-site and off-site activities seeking to build a sense of community while enriching the lives of our manuhiri. These activities may include CBT and DBT based coping skills that can increase tolerance and the ability to live well as neighbours, understanding assertive skills and creating safe and healthy relationships and other life skills. Whilst also looking at lifestyle and medical options such as kapa haka, waiata and yoga and other whānau based activities.
