Whaioro Trust is a Mental Health and Addictions specialist organisation providing mental health, well-being and vocational support services to ngā tangata whaiora (whānau experiencing mental health issues) and counselling services to rangatahi (youth) who are affected by AOD.  Whaioro also runs an Alternative Education program, and we have Fielding, and Otaki based Kaiwhakapuaki (health coaches) working with the local health centers and community.


Whaioro Trust services extend throughout the Manawatu and Horowhenua region. Whaioro is also part of an integral network of Iwi and Māori providers who work from Whānau Ora, whānau centered and strength based aproaches. All are part of the Te Waiora Collective and Whaioro Trust is also a member of the Horowhenua Tū Tonu Mai alliance providing clinical respite.
