Our Kaupapa: Walking the path of recovery, wrapped in the cloak of support.
Te Ara Korowai is a peer-led creative wellbeing centre in Raumati Beach, dedicated to fostering a supportive environment for all. We offer a variety of inclusive classes focused on creativity and mental wellbeing, where everyone in our community is encouraged to participate. Our mission is to promote positive mental health through a combination of peer support, creative expression, and wellness practices.
As a not-for-profit organisation, we rely on grants and donations to continue providing these essential services to those in need within our community.
