Kaitūruki AOD Peer Support for Whānau Wellness

The Kaitūruki Whakahaumanu Mana Tane (Peer Support) role supports tāne in their recovery at Whanganui Prison, drawing on lived experience, Tikanga Māori, and whānau ora. A background check is required and cultural integrity is essential to deliver wellbeing and positive change.
