Peer Support and Advocacy

What people say about us

I was lost, alone and I felt like I didn't have anyone. And then I started PeerZone. I found new ways to deal with feeling lost and alone. I made new friends who were nothing but accepting - both the staff and other group members. No one judged me. They listened, cared and showed me I'm not any different. I just needed a little extra help.

Thank you so much for your remarkable patience and understanding. We all care so much for our whānau member, and it was so obvious to me that you cared for him as well. You have my deepest gratitude.

These workshops have made me feel empowered and encouraged me to deliver these groups. I never thought it was something I would do. Great, fantastic, gentle and comprehensive mental health recovery tools.

I felt really comfortable talking to my peer worker. It was an excellent service. The peer worker really listened, and I felt heard.
