Arahura Charitable Trust

Arahura supports people in Central Auckland with mental health difficulties, primarily through supported accommodation - the goal is recovery.

The Trust is a vehicle to improve the quality of life for people who have been assessed by Mental Health Professionals as needing the services of the Trust. We are committed to using researched models of Recovery, the Strengths Model, Wellness Recovery Action Plans and  the facilitation of social inclusion for Arahura service users.

The service that Arahura provides is a bridge between hospitalisation and living independently in the community.  It is pivotal for the long term well being of people making this transition that they develop skills and coping strategies to meet the challenges of shifting from a dependent lifestyle, to one in which they have responsibility for managing their lives and illness. Arahura’s residential service have specialised in developing tools for our service users to practice the skills necessary to make a successful recovery into the community
